What is Making Waves?
What is Making Waves?
Making Waves is a new online research group meeting monthly on Wednesday afternoons (see the Meetings page for the full schedule) at 3pm CET.
Our focus is on the acquisition of prosody and gesture. The group is not a reading group or a seminar, but will focus each month on a different theme within acquisition of prosody and gesture, such as specific methodologies, annotation systems, or an emerging theoretical question.

Making Waves is organised by Rebecca Woods and Mariia Pronina, researchers based in the UK and in Spain respectively.

I'm based at Newcastle University where I research the acquisition of questions by children learning English and German. Most of my work to date has focused on morphosyntax and pragmatics, but I'm moving into researching gesture thanks to my involvement in the AHRC-DFG funded project QuBiSM (Questions, Bias, Multimodality: Negotiating Meaning in Interaction).

I'm based at the University of the Balearic Islands where I research heritage language acquisition, bi- and multilingualism, with the focus on the development of prosody and gesture. My previous work has mostly focused on first language acquisition and the social and cognitive forces that shape it.
