Alex Krauska joins our department this year as a post-doc. We asked her to tell us a little bit about herself:
“I am interested in psycho- and neuro-linguistics, morphosyntax, and acquired language disorders. I did my PhD at the University of Maryland, where I worked on bridging the gaps between morphosyntactic theory and models of language production. My dissertation, “A World Without Words: a non-lexicalist framework for psycho- and neuro-linguistics”, outlines the issues with models that rely on words or lemmas as a unit of language production, and describes a non-lexicalist, non-semiotic alternative. In my spare time, I play music, hike, and care for a variety of houseplants.”
