I’m the point person for the lab – you’ll hear from me if you call or email, and I help organize the facilities, equipment, and our Ling 375 course. I did my undergrad here ages ago, and my research focused on locative constructions in Cree.

I do experimental psycholinguistics. I study language processing, mostly lexical and sentence/discourse comprehension, but I am interested in spoken language in general. Among other things, I am currently interested in investigating how young children and adults process reference across the life-span given the time constraints of normal conversation, and how this is modulated by affect, social cognition, and personality traits.

My research focuses on infant speech perception and the early stages of language development. I am interested in how speech affects an infant’s perceptual system and what types of information are useful in word learning.

I work on prosody using a laboratory phonology approach. In particular, I have been researching how different languages use prosody to express information structure. My most recent work concentrates on how prosody interacts with other areas of grammar, especially syntax, in marking contrast, topic or the distinction between focus and background.

I primarily study figurative/indirect language and its use & comprehension. I am also interested in structural influences on language comprehension and function, as well as multimodality and metalinguistic interactions with language comprehension and use.

I study bilingual acquisition, second language acquisition and developmental language disorders in children. I am primarily interested in children learning English as a second language from immigrant and refugee families: How these children approach native-speaker competence, the factors explaining why some individual children learn English faster than others, and the unique language profiles of English second language children with developmental disorders, such as specific language impairment and autism spectrum disorder.

Phonetics, speech perception, spoken word recognition, psycholinguistics, laboratory phonology, field linguistics, language documentation and revitalization. I am the director of the Alberta Phonetics Laboratory.

My research interests revolve around phonetics, phonology, and prosody, in the contexts of language variation and change. My recent research focuses on the relationship between speech production and perception, individual differences, sound change, and speech accommodation. I’m also interested in the interaction between prosody and gesture, the role of prosody in foreign accented speech, and acquisition of prosodic structure.

My research interests are in psycholinguistics and syntax. I will be working in the interpretation and processing of pronouns and implicit causality in English and Spanish first language and heritage speakers. I am also interested in syntax in Romance languages.
fiawornu
My research interests are in psycholinguistics and discourse studies. In a broader sense, I will be working on political worldview, gender and language processing. I am also interested in accented speech, in terms of non-native speakers of a language, and language processing.
hammondt
I work on social language processing, using intersectional methods from psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics. I’m particularly interested in how individual personality and political differences interact with our ability to understand gender stereotypes.
hert
My research interest are in the fields of psycholinguistics, syntax and pragmatics. Specifically, I will be working further on the interpretation and production of pronouns across languages and ages. I am also interested in first and second language acquisition, as well as bilingual (multilingual) language acquisition.
hblam
My research interests lie primarily at the intersection of bilingual acquisition and nominal reference. In other words, I’m currently investigating how speakers of different or multiple languages (bi-/multilinguals) learn to refer to entities out in the world, and what individual background factors play a role.
puhacheu
My major interests are in the fields of psycho- and neurolinguistics. Broadly speaking, I am interested in how and when cognitive systems that support language interact with other systems, such as those that support social cognition, moral valuation, affect, and the like. I will work on non-linguistic factors that influence spoken language anticipation, focusing on sociopolitical attitudes and implicit stereotypes. My other topics of interest include language-mediated visual attention, mental lexicon, and bilingualism.

I am interested in psycholinguistic perspectives on bilingual acquisition, with my proposed doctoral research focusing on syntactic priming as an implicit learning strategy in heritage speakers. I have previously worked on intervention effects in the processing of relative clauses by ESL speakers.
kcalkins
My research revolves around foreign accent perception and intergroup relations. I am particularly interested in the individual differences and circumstance contributing to modifications in accent perception.

I am an undergraduate student at Campus Saint Jean in my last year of elementary education with a minor in inclusion. I absolutely love linguistics and learning about language. I have done a research project on music as a tool for phonological awareness development in the French minority context.
No results.
