Academic bio: My research is at the
intersection of usage-based linguistics and learning theory. I am
particularly interested in the roles of associative learning, prediction
error, selection by consequences, learned selective attention, and
hierarchical Bayesian inference in language acquisition. On the linguistic
side of things, the aim is to incorporate realistic models of learning into
accounts of frequency effects in language production and language change. On
the psychology side, the aim is to have language learning data speak to
learning theory again, by designing experiments that investigate
learning-theoretic issues in the domain of language. For more, see the
Publications by Year link. I am a co-director of the 2025
Linguistics Society of America Summer Institute, with Spike Gildea and Kaori Idemaru. See our call
