I investigate the connections between language acquisition and language processing. My expertise lies in syntax-discourse interface phenomena, in particular word order and anaphora resolution. I focus on multilingual contexts, particularly on the contact between Romance and Germanic languages. The goal of my work is to shed light on the cognitive processes involved in language learning, to inform language education.
Oh, and I am also a human being who likes reading, writing, running and watching a lot of movies.
And football, a lot. Sorry.
