Her research focuses on the interplay between grammatical organization and working memory limitations in real-time deployment of L2 grammatical knowledge. Key areas include error detection mechanisms, subject-verb agreement, and phonological phenomena like liaison and enchaînement in French. Publications analyze computational cycles in language processing and inferencing strategies in native and non-native speakers.
Recent articles explore feature-based vocabulary selection in the French future tense, inference-driven error detection in subject-verb agreement, and instructional impacts on L2 phonology. These works span journals like Glossa and Lingua, emphasizing morphosyntactic and phonetic challenges in French acquisition.
