Welcome! We study how sentences of human language are processed, with a special interest in the relationship between sentence processing, language typology, and formal syntactic theory. Our research employs a variety of experimental techniques, including self-paced reading, visual-world eye-tracking, and judgement tasks to examine how representations of linguistic structure interact with how we understand sentences that we’ve never heard before. We study a variety of diverse languages including Copala Triqui, English, Korean, Mandarin, Niuean, and Japanese.

We are located in Room 421 in Wolf Hall (105 The Green, Newark DE).
