My research mainly relates to third language acquisition and cross-linguistic influence.
Some of my research interests include:
* how words are acquired and processed in the multilingual mental lexicon
* how a shared conceptual base influences (post-L2) vocabulary acquisition
* what different factors guide the quantity, quality, and direction of cross-linguistic influence
* how subsequent language acquisition affects the languages we already know
My PhD thesis, Snakes and Ladders: Developmental Aspects of Lexical-Conceptual Relationships in the Multilingual Mental Lexicon is now available for download.
