I am an ESRC post-doctoral fellow working with Holly Branigan. I completed my Ph.D. under supervision of Simon Garrod at University of Glasgow . My dissertation explores the interface between domain-specific and domain-general operations during generation of sentences in languages with different grammatical systems. Other research projects I am involved with address lexical overlap in structural priming, implicit acquisition of grammatical knowledge (both with Cristoph Scheepers), and processing of English passive voice sentences (with Fernanda Ferreira and Cristoph Scheepers ).
