Rodica Ivan has been conducting language production experiments on site in Romania. Researchers at the University of Bucharest’s English Department welcomed her to the university, where she has been studying Romanian speakers’ choices of referring expression in reflexive and non-reflexive sentence contexts. Along the way, she learned some interesting new things about the subtle ways in which different dialects of Romanian vary in how they express reflexivity. Rodica’s next steps involve looking at the comprehension of pronouns and reflexives in Romanian. Congratulations, Rodica!
