معرفی
Isabella Fritz is a Research Fellow and Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Language and Brain Laboratory within the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics. She holds a PhD from the University of Birmingham, where her research focused on how co-speech gestures interact with speech. Currently, her work emphasizes the language processing of English learners, exploring topics from discourse-level comprehension to word-level phonological mechanisms.
Education:
- PhD in Linguistics, University of Birmingham
Research interests span psycholinguistics, bilingualism, and cognitive neuroscience. She investigates the neural bases of language comprehension, the role of gesture in multimodal communication, and phonological factors influencing second language acquisition. Her studies often employ experimental methods and neuroimaging techniques like ERP to uncover how learners integrate speech and non-speech cues.
Publications reflect a sustained focus on bilingual language processing, gesture-speech interaction, and the cognitive and neural underpinnings of linguistic structures. Recent work examines metrical phonology in L2 recognition and explores dissociations between neural mechanisms for noun modification contexts.
