The goal of my research is to develop a comprehensive account of how humans process language, which I try to achieve by covering the full spectrum of manners in which humans acquire and experience language. In my research, I combine insights from monolingual and multilingual individuals, who process language through speech or sign, to inform an inclusive and comprehensive neurobiology of language. To obtain an extensive profile of these experiences, I combine insights from linguistics, psychology and neuroscience with a range of approaches, including neuropsychology, neuroimaging, and behavioral methods. Further, I take the most naturalistic approach possible to inform a theory that can not only account for laboratory based experiments but rather aims to capture the multifaceted and socially influenced experience of what it means to communicate in the real world.
