Research Interests:

Language processing
Corpus analysis
Computational cognitive models
The question that motivates my research is how humans process language, and in particular, how characteristics of the language processing mechanism might account simultaneously for both regularities and apparent exceptions in language behavior. Current projects combine computational modeling, psycho-linguistic experimentation (using electrophysiological and behavioral measures), and linguistic theory to address this question. These projects primarily concern morphology and sentence processing, although I am also interested in speech processing and in language change, both historically and during acquisition and loss.
