Fields of interest

Syntactic dependencies in sentence comprehension, Syntax-semantics interface in sentence comprehension, Cross-linguistic sentence comprehension studies, Event-related potentials associated with linguistic phenomena, Second language sentence comprehension, Syntax-phonology interface in sentence production and comprehension, Romance and Basque syntax and morphology

Research

My research interest is in the interdiciplinary fields of psycho and neurolinguistics. I am interested in the subconcious mechanisms present in the comprehension of phenomena on the syntax-semantics interface such as negative polarity items and in the formation of long-distance dependencies of different kinds such as wh-dependencies and topic-clitic dependencies. To study these phenomena I use both behavioral techniques and electrophysiology.
