Intereses de investigación. Las áreas de investigación en las que he trabajado son: psicolingüística, evolución del lenguaje y lingüística cognitiva. Mis intereses se centran alrededor de la relación entre el uso del lenguaje, el pensamiento y los procesos cognitivos.

Research Interests. My research areas are psycholinguistics, language evolution and cognitive linguistics. More generally, I am interested in studying the relationship between language and thought.
