Annie Gagliardi 5th year PhD Student acg39 at umd dot edu Research interests: language acquisition, computational modeling, crosslinguistic psycholinguistics, morphology I work with Jeff Lidz in the Project on Children's Language Learning on the acquisition of noun classes, novel word learning and the acquisition of filler gap dependencies I also work with Masha Polinsky on Tsez noun classification, Naomi Feldman on computational modeling of noun classification and word learning, and The language acquisition group at the University of Tromsø on the acquisition of Norwegian grammatical gender |
