معرفی
Natalia Gagarina serves as a Visiting Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Linguistics and Philology, Engelska parken, Thunbergsvägen 3H, Box 635, 751 26 UPPSALA. She maintains active research collaborations focusing on narrative development in multilingual contexts.
Her research centers on narrative comprehension and language acquisition in children, with particular emphasis on referentiality mechanisms, bilingual narrative organization, and cross-linguistic assessment tools. Gagarina's work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical applications for evaluating narrative skills across diverse language environments.
Recent publications reveal a consistent focus on the Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (MAIN), demonstrating how narrative structures develop in monolingual and bilingual children while examining environmental and linguistic influences on referential choices. Her research combines experimental methodology with cross-linguistic analysis to create standardized assessment frameworks.
Gagarina maintains a significant collaborative partnership with Ute Bohnacker on narrative assessment instruments, contributing to both theoretical frameworks and practical tools for language development evaluation. Her work provides critical methodologies for researchers studying narrative comprehension across linguistic boundaries.
