Background
I study how people use language during dialogue, and how variation in language use is affected by individual, interpersonal, and community-level influences. I approach this by using experimental group-level comparisons, individual differences studies, and the combination of both. I am all in for Open Science, of course. In fact, check https://osf.io/hpqxy/ and https://github.com/anitatobar, where you'll find materials and analyses of my recent publications and ongoing research projects.
I am currently collaborating in the ESRC-funded project 'Conversational alignment in children with an Autistic Spectrum Condition and typically developing children'.
