Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Research Lab

About the lab

Welcome to the Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism Research Lab website. We investigate how bilingual children, heritage speakers, and L2 learners develop different structural aspects of language, including syntax, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics. We are also interested in bilingual first language acquisition, the acquisition of sociolinguistic and pragmatic properties of language, language contact and change, and classroom second language research. Our languages of study include Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, and Chinese.
