Research Interests

My research interest is directed towards the different processes involved in native and non-native sentence processing.  As a research assistant, I explore the roles of syntactic and discourse-level constraints in the real-time processing of pronouns. In my doctoral thesis, I will focus primarily on the influence of syntactic factors.
