I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Neal Pearlmutter’s Sentence Processing Laboratory. Broadly, I am interested in investigating the ways in which the semantic features and conceptual properties of words and phrases influence the planning of sentences (or the constituent parts of sentences) during production. My proposed research attempts to further characterize the nature of semantic integration– as distinct from other types of semantic “relationships”– including, specifically, its role in inducing speech errors.
