    Research interests

    My research is grounded in generative linguistic theory and explores the second language and additional (L2/Ln) acquisition process. My theoretical focus is the acquisition of grammatical structure and its interaction with meaning. I use online and offline psycholinguistic methodologies to investigate the following theoretical issues: 

      * What is the linguistic nature of the bilingual and multilingual grammar?
      * Are there some properties of language (e.g. words, sounds, sentence structure) that are easier to acquire than others (e.g., functional morphemes, grammatical meanings)? Are there are some properties, such as pragmatic universals, that will come for free in the grammar of the learner?
      * Can lexical, phrasal and sentence meaning be acquired in the additional language? How does the interface between form and meaning affect the L2/Ln acquisition of meaning?
      * What is the effect of the native language in the acquisition of an additional language? What are the effects of the native and the second language in the acquisition of a third language?
      * How does linguistic and processing complexity affect knowledge of meaning in the L2/Ln? How do children acquiring their native language and adult L2/Ln learners compare in this respect?                                                            * How can knowledge of additional language acquisition improve classroom learning and instruction?
