Background
I am currently working on a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship "Pragmatic priming in Children: from comprehension to production." This project asks how speakers and listeners converge on meaning, particularly how children draw inferences and produce sentences that imply extra meaning. The goal is to adapt a novel paradigm, Pragmatic Priming, to understand children's pragmatic computations by shifting the traditional listener-centric perspective to one considering speaker’s choices in production.
