Mieke Slim

Mieke Slim is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Language Development Department at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, a position held since November 2022. Her work investigates learning mechanisms underlying quantifier representations (e.g., 'all' and 'each') across languages using corpus analysis and behavioral tasks.

Her academic background includes:

• PhD in Psychology from Ghent University (2022)
• MPhil in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics from the University of Cambridge (2018)

Research focuses on how cross-linguistic variations in quantifier expressions (e.g., English 'each/every' versus Dutch 'elke/ieder') affect developmental trajectories. Methodologies include structural priming paradigms with monolingual and bilingual adults, examining cognitive impacts of language-specific quantity relations.
