I obtained my PhD in Cognitive Science from Macquarie University, Sydney in 2018. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS), Berlin.
I conduct experiment-based research into the structure (syntax) and meaning (semantics/pragmatics) of human language. In conducting such research, I have used a variety of methods (e.g., Truth Value Judgment Task, Eye-Tracking), and investigated a variety of languages (e.g., German, Mandarin), age-groups (e.g., Adults, 4-5 y/o Children), and populations (e.g., people with Aphasia, Autism).
The set of linguistic phenomena I have investigated includes: implicatures, presuppositions, negation, and epistemic modality.
This work has produced novel insights into what language is, how it is processed in the mind, and how an understanding of it is acquired by children.
