Research interests
My research interests include language acquisition and language processing by different groups of children and adults – monolingual, bilingual/multilingual and heritage language speakers – with a special focus on the acquisition and processing of Croatian in contact with other languages. I rely on experimental methods to study language, in particular the Visual World eye-tracking paradigm, WebGazer, eye-tracking during reading and behavioural tasks (e.g., elicited production, acceptability judgments). In my current and previous research, I have focused on various linguistic phenomena that I investigate from a cross-linguistic perspective, such as grammatical aspect and case, reference, anaphora resolution, implicit causality, negation, semantics of connectives, etc.
