Mi investigación se centra en comprender los mecanismos cognitivos que toman parte en la adquisición y el procesamiento de la morfosintaxis. Investigo el procesamiento de estructura gramatical a través de modalidades, a lo largo de la vida, y examinando en paralelo poblaciones monolingües y bilingües.
