In the psycholinguistics lab, we are investigating a variety of phenomena related to native, bilingual, and second language sentence processing.

In this study, we examine how natives, bilinguals, and non-natives interpret sentences in which the antecedent for a pro or an overt pronoun is ambiguous.

The division of AL/SLS is hosting a number of conferences in addition to its lecture series.

We are conducting a variety of studies involving various types of instructed SLA. We focus on a variety of issues.

One of our research projects involves how people assign temporal reference to sentences in which tense markings on verbs do not match temporal adverbs.
