Position: Professor of Linguistics

Research interests
I am interested in first language acquisition, the acquisition of meaning, acquisitional principles in word-formation compared across children and languages, and general semantic and pragmatic issues in the lexicon and in language more generally. I am currently working on the kinds of pragmatic information adults offer small children as they talk to them, and on children's ability to make use of this information as they make inferences about unfamiliar meanings and relations between familiar and unfamiliar words, as well as inferences about conventional ways to say things based on adult responses to child errors during acquisition.
