Research Interests: First-language acquisition; theoretical approaches to acquisition; relationship between linguistic and cognitive development and categorisation in children and adults; cross-linguistic studies of language development, including work on Spanish, Welsh, and Korean; second-language acquisition; and bilingualism.

The theoretical focus of this group is to study the interactions between bilinguals' two languages and between bilinguals' linguistic knowledge and categorisation. She is also currently involved in several other projects, including two for which she is PI: one ESRC-funded project is exploring the extent of cognitive effects of bilingualism on executive functioning in bilinguals across the lifespan, by examining the contributions of language dominance, linguistic and cognitive abilities, and socioeconomic factors to performance; and another WAG-funded project focuses on the development of assessment tools for Welsh bilinguals.
