My research interests focus on first and second language acquisition, as well as language processing. Using experimental methods, I investigate how different structures are understood and produced by children, adults, and second language learners. I am also interested in the acquisition and maintenance of heritage languages. I have primarily worked on Japanese and Tagalog, but I also hope to work on other languages of Asia and the Pacific, including the Ryukyuan languages.
