Research interests
experiments and corpora to investigate to what extent the grammatical patterns we find in languages (e.g., relative clause asymmetries, islands) can be explained in terms of processing factors and input characteristics; how different populations―child first language learners, child and adult second language learners, heritage speakers, and the clinical populations—acquire, maintain, or lose the features of typologically different languages; languages of Asia and the Pacific, such as Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, and Ryukyuan
