Current research is focused on investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the processing
of stems of complex words in auditory modality. The event-related brain potentials (ERP)
technique was chosen for this investigation for the reasons of better temporal resolution.
Research Interests
Cognitive neuroscience of language/Neurolinguistics
Interface of phonology and morphology in organization of the mental lexicon
Semantic and morphosyntactic processing of sentences in auditory speech perception
Psycholinguistics
First (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition
Bi- and multilingualism: early vs. late L2 acquisition; defining and discovering
L2 proficiency; native language attrition
