Research

 

I am interested in prosody, sentence and discourse processing, and second language acquisition. I am currently working on my dissertation, an eyetracking study on prosody in discourse. I am also working on a textbook called "Analyzing the Sounds of Languages" with Mary Beckman and Bridget Smith. 

Here is a list of my research presentations and publications:
