Research Overview
My primary research interests lie in language processing, where I engage in experimental psycholinguistic research. In particular, I am interested in how interlocutors from different dialectal backgrounds communicate effectively with one another during dialogue. My primary research methodology is eye tracking, which I use in conjunction with measures of lexical choice and reaction time. I also like to keep up with new developments in the areas of research methods and statistical analysis. As well as human language, I am also fascinated by animal language. During my free time, one of my favourite pursuits is the study of psittacine communication - that is, teaching parrots to talk!
