Biographical Sketch & Research Interests
My current research interests in infant language acquisition include the role of intention and interaction, as well as the interconnected contributions of syntax and phonetics in acquiring language. I have also worked in the areas of dyslexia, multi-media interfaces for machine translation (English-Japanese), and discourse issues in machine translation.
