Tutkimuskohteet

I am interested in chunking at different levels of language organization, individual variation, and modelling language as a complex system. In my current project “Language at the individual level: a radical usage-based approach”, I use corpus and behavioural speech processing data to study the extent to which we differ in how we produce and comprehend language.
