I am currently engaged in the following projects:

Research

My research interest is language development, pragmatics and in particular pragmatic development; non-verbal communication; emotive expressions and the relation between these expressions and spoken language. More specifically I’m interested in how verbal and nonverbal communication is intertwined as the child, through interaction with others, acquire language. Other research interest concerning language development are
