Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Syntax
  • Grammar
  • Phonology

Her primary scientific interests are in Syntax, Grammar, Language acquisition, Developmental psychology and Cognitive psychology. Her Syntax study incorporates themes from Computational linguistics, Control, Phrase and Specific language impairment. In her work, Past tense, Regular and irregular verbs, Language development and Language disorder is strongly intertwined with Developmental disorder, which is a subfield of Grammar.

Her study in Language acquisition is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Object, Theoretical linguistics, Focus and Representation. Her Developmental psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phonology and First language. Her work deals with themes such as Learning disability and Dyslexia, which intersect with Phonology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Domain-specific cognitive systems: insight from Grammatical-SLI. (242 citations)
  • Past tense morphology in specifically language impaired and normally developing children (192 citations)
  • Phonological deficits in specific language impairment and developmental dyslexia: towards a multidimensional model (190 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary areas of study are Specific language impairment, Grammar, Phonology, Cognitive psychology and Syntax. Her Specific language impairment study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Comprehension, Verb, Language disorder and Dyslexia. Her work in Grammar addresses issues such as Developmental psychology, which are connected to fields such as Functional specialization and Spoken language.

Her study explores the link between Phonology and topics such as Psycholinguistics that cross with problems in Phonetics. Her work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Vocabulary and Morpheme. Her Syntax research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Control, Language acquisition, Pronoun, Lexicon and Semantics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Specific language impairment (75.61%)
  • Grammar (39.02%)
  • Phonology (45.12%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2018)?

  • Language acquisition (21.95%)
  • Cross linguistic (4.88%)
  • Specific language impairment (75.61%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Language acquisition, Cross linguistic, Specific language impairment, Context and Comprehension. She combines subjects such as Semantics, Order of acquisition and Pragmatics with her study of Cross linguistic. Her Specific language impairment research incorporates themes from Voice and First language.

Her Context research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Clitic, Pronoun and Problem of universals. Her studies in Comprehension integrate themes in fields like Agreement, Interpretation and Universal quantification. Her Syntax research extends to the thematically linked field of Indo-European languages.

Between 2014 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • Cross-linguistic patterns in the acquisition of quantifiers (30 citations)
  • A Cross-Linguistic Study of the Acquisition of Clitic and Pronoun Production (29 citations)
  • A large-scale cross-linguistic investigation of the acquisition of passive (20 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Syntax
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Mathematics

Her main research concerns Indo-European languages, Romance languages, Developmental linguistics, Cross linguistic and Order of acquisition. Her Indo-European languages research incorporates elements of Finno-Ugric languages, Word order and German. The concepts of her Romance languages study are interwoven with issues in Clitic, Syntax, Language acquisition and Pronoun.

Her multidisciplinary approach integrates Developmental linguistics and Competence in her work.
