Language-related perceptual and cognitive abilities, including speech perception, statistical and rule-like learning; critical aspects of language learning; language evolution taking a comparative approach
>>Nate George
Relationship between cognitive semantics and bilingualism/L2 learning; how monolingual and bilingual children learn about how their native language(s) encodes relational information in events, and how the resulting language-specific biases can present a challenge for learning subsequent languages later in life

>>Gerrit Jan Kootstra (gjk17@psu.edu)
Language acquisition, processing and use of multiple languages in multilinguals and second language learners; cross-linguistic interactions during language use and the flexibility with which multilingual language users adapt their language use to the (prior) discourse (e.g., priming) and to discourse contexts in general
