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 for courses
