• Research Interests:
Psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, linguistics, neurolinguistics, & perception.
My research interests are primarily within the area of psychlinguistics including speech perception in normal and deafened individuals, sign language perception, and figurative language understanding. I have also done work in literacy and education, and collaborative work with language-learning impaired individuals and aphasics. I am currently working in two areas: language change as affected by communication on the internet, and how best to convey visuo-graphic information tactilely to permit the visually impaired access to web demonstrations and graphics. I welcome research collaborations in any area of language and communication.
