My teaching emphasizes inter-disciplinary approaches. My research emphasizes cross-linguistic comparisons of syntactic
development and children's processing mechanisms. I'm interested in both universals and particulars that are evident during children's convergence on the adult grammar.
My main collaborators are Merrill
Garrett (Pyschology, U. of Arizona), Sam Supalla (Disability/Psychoeducation Studies, U. of Arizona),
Dana McDaniel (Linguistics, U. of Southern Maine), Maria Emiliani (USL, Imola, Italy), Sigridur Sigurjonsdottir (Icelandic Linguistics, U. of Iceland), and Maider Huarte (Language and Didactics, Begoņako Andra Mari College of Education, Spain).
I also raise puppies for service dog organizations. My current puppy belongs to Guide Dogs for the Blind . Here's a shot of Tonya at five months, and here's a shot of the whole Tucson cohort. (We look amazingly like the photo on GDB's puppy truck.) I've also raised three dogs for Canine Companions for Independence. They are shown here, here, and here. |
