Hi, I'm Michaela!


Welcome to my site!

I have my PhD in Language Sciences, specializing in the bilingual mind and how different types of speakers process language. 

I am interested in to what extent proficiency modulates the production of syntactically complex structures in second language learners and bilinguals and how this affects learning trajectories (e.g. passives and wh-questions). I use psycholinguistic experimental paradigms such as structural priming and conduct my research in both offline and online modalities.
