Research Statement

I study a variety of phenomena related to the acquisition of the phonology of a second language (L2) by adult learners, specifically the development of L2 phoneme inventories. My research typically involves experimental investigations of the perception of L2 sounds, the influence of various types of linguistic experience on L2 phonological development, and L2 reading.

For a complete record of my research, please see my CV or visit my Google Scholar profile.
