My research interests are in psycholinguistics, primarily with a focus on the production of language. A central theme of my research is how different types of information interact during language use. I have examined this issue in the context of lexical access, figurative language production, and within-sentence agreement processes, and have recently begun a project examining the development of children's acquisition of referential language abilities.
