Research Interests
Language production, psycholinguistics, cognition.
Current work ranges from basic processes of word production, especially the status of sublexical units, through morphological processes and their liaison with syntax and phonology, to sentence level planning. Recent collaborations involve crosslinguistic work on Mandarin Chinese and on Spanish.
