Research interests
My research interests include language acquisition and language processing in children and adults, monolingual, bi-/multilingual and heritage language speakers. In my work, I use experimental methods, such as the Visual World eye-tracking paradigm, eye-tracking during reading, behavioral tasks (e.g., elicited production, acceptability judgments).
My current research as part of the MuMiN project focuses on the role of cross-linguistic influence in bilingual child language acquisition to find out whether the different languages influence each other or develop independently and autonomously in the mind of a bilingual child. The particular focus is on the acquisition of Croatian as a heritage language. The empirical domain I am investigating is the grammatical aspect.
Other areas of my research include syntactic, morphological and discourse phenomena from a cross-linguistic perspective.
