Research Areas of Interest
My research program can be broadly categorized into two main areas: (a) bilingual
language processing, and (b) the representation of emotion and emotion concepts.
In general, my program of research is directed toward uncovering the ways in
which bilingual speakers learn, store, and use language information. The thrust
of my research program in bilingual memory can be summarized under two main
aims: (1) the application of bilingual paradigms in solving issues of general
language processing, and (2) the investigation of the structure and function
of bilingual memory. |
