Estimating the Onset Age of Children's Production of English Function Words
Estimating the Onset Age of Children's Production of English Function Words
Project Description: How do children learn function words? Is there a particular order to their development in early childhood? How consistent is this order of acquisition cross-linguistically? What factors determine the order of acquisition for function words?

Sources of Disjunction Exclusivity
Sources of Disjunction Exclusivity
Project Description: When do speakers interpret words like "or" as meaning one or the other but not both as opposed to one or the other and maybe both? What factors influence their interpretations, and which experimental paradigms can best measure them?

The Interpretation of Logical Connectives in Preschool Children
The Interpretation of Logical Connectives in Preschool Children
Project Description: How do preschool children interpret and understand natural langauge Boolean connectives such as "and", "or", "not", and their combinations? How do children's interpretations deviate from adult interpretations?

Boolean Linguistic Reasoning in Large Language Models
Boolean Linguistic Reasoning in Large Language Models
Project Description: How do Large Language Models understand Boolean logical concepts encoded in words such as "and", "or", and "not", as well as their combinations? How much do their interpretations align with human interpretations of these words and logical constructions made out of them?

Psychometrics of Implicature Measurement
Psychometrics of Implicature Measurement
Project Description: Tasks that purportedly measure scalar implicatures often result in radically different estimates across experiments. This project uses parallel items across 4 distinct paradigms to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each task type.

Domain-Sensitive Assessment and AI-Mediated Persian Language Learning
Domain-Sensitive Assessment and AI-Mediated Persian Language Learning
Project Description: This project develops and pilot-tests AI-supported instructional and assessment practices for teaching Persian in mixed heritage and second language (L2) classrooms. It examines how AI tools differentially support learning across phonology, morphosyntax, and sociopragmatics. The project aims to generate preliminary data on how AI-mediated practice affects learner performance and to inform theory-driven approaches to language instruction and assessment.
