Areas of interest for supervision
I am happy to supervise PhD projects on the development of morphosyntax and the lexicon in bilingual children with typical development and with developmental language disorders. I am keen to explore the implementation of novel methods such as eye tracking in this field. Please also see my list of publications for an idea about my research interests.

Research summary
first and second language acquisition, child bilingualism, psycholinguistics, language impairment
Current research interests
My research focuses on cross-linguistic aspects of acquisition and processing in typically-developing monolingual and bilingual children and in children with language impairment. My research addresses questions such as the following: What is the relationship between production and (on-line) comprehension/processing in impaired and unimpaired monolingual and bilingual children? How is this relationship affected by cross-linguistic differences in the target grammatical system? How can the comparison between different modalities inform us about the underlying nature of development and processing? I am also interested in the interplay between cognitive abilities, such as executive functions, and language abilities in typically-developing and language impaired children. If you are interested in pursuing a PhD on these or similar topics, please e-mail me.Research activities
