Niclas Abrahamsson is a Professor of Swedish as a Second Language at Stockholm University, where he also serves as the Director of the Centre for Research on Bilingualism . His research focuses on second language acquisition (SLA) , bilingualism , and phonological/phonetic development , particularly through the lens of age of acquisition and critical periods . He leads the MOB (Meta-research on Bilingualism) group, analyzing trends in bilingualism research and Swedish as a Second Language. PhD in Bilingualism (2001, Stockholm University) BA in Linguistics, Phonetics, and Psychology (1993) His research explores how age of onset and language aptitude influence nativelike attainment in L2 speakers, with a focus on voice onset time (VOT) analysis, neural constraints , and lexical deficits in bilinguals. His recent studies challenge the notion that bilingualism inherently causes linguistic costs, attributing observed deficits instead to second language acquisition processes. Abrahamsson has secured major grants from the Swedish Research Council (VR) , Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation (RJ) , and Byggmästare Olle Engqvists Stiftelse . He supervises PhD students working on topics like Swedish compounding acquisition , language-dependent memory , and foreign accented speech perception . He teaches SLA, bilingual development, and psycholinguistics at all academic levels. Key Awards : VR Grant 2016-01630, RJ Sabbatical Grant SAB16-0051:1, Byggmästare Olle Engqvists Stiftelse Grant 200-0676 Abrahamsson's work frequently employs ERP studies and meta-analyses , emphasizing methodological rigor. He collaborates with institutions like the Multilingualism Lab and has contributed to foundational theories in critical period hypothesis and language aptitude research.

Patrick Sturt is a Reader in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. His research focuses on syntactic processing in language comprehension, computational models of incremental parsing, anaphor resolution, and eye movements in reading. With over 100 publications and more than 3,300 citations, he is a recognized expert in psycholinguistics and language processing. Dr. Sturt's research interests span multiple areas of language processing. He investigates how humans comprehend sentences in real-time, with particular focus on syntactic structures, agreement phenomena, and anaphoric reference. His work often employs eye-tracking methodologies to examine the moment-by-moment processing of linguistic information. He has made significant contributions to understanding how readers handle syntactic ambiguities, garden-path sentences, and the role of prediction in language comprehension. His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on cross-linguistic studies, particularly examining language processing in Mandarin Chinese and Korean. Many of his studies investigate how syntactic and semantic information interact during comprehension, and how linguistic structures like honorifics, classifiers, and non-canonical word orders are processed. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with experimental psycholinguistics, providing empirical evidence for models of sentence processing. Dr. Sturt actively supervises PhD students including Carine Abraham, Wenjia Cai, Chiuchou Hao, Ruomeng Zhu, and Christy Gu. He teaches Psychology of Language 1 and 2 at the MSc level, as well as Data Analysis for Psychology in R for first-year undergraduates. His teaching reflects his research expertise, providing students with both theoretical knowledge and practical analytical skills. Based in Room G29 of the Psychology Building at 7 George Square, Edinburgh, Dr. Sturt maintains regular office hours on Tuesdays from 3-4pm, providing accessibility to students and colleagues. His email address is patrick.sturt@ed.ac.uk.

Dr. Naomi Nagy is Professor and Chair of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Arts and Science. She teaches courses on sociolinguistics, language variation and change, and heritage languages at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Her academic career spans over two decades with previous appointments at the University of New Hampshire and visiting positions at institutions worldwide. Ph.D. in Linguistics, University of Pennsylvania (1996) B.A. cum Laude in Linguistics (with Honors) and French, Dartmouth College (1989) Dr. Nagy's research focuses on sociolinguistics, particularly language variation and change in heritage language contexts. She specializes in understanding language contact through variationist sociolinguistic approaches, with particular expertise in Faetar (a Francoprovençal dialect), heritage languages, language contact phenomena, New England English dialects, phonetics, and sociolinguistic variation in Toronto's multilingual communities. Her work examines how languages change across generations in contact situations, with a focus on maintaining linguistic complexity in heritage language contexts. Her extensive publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding heritage language variation across multiple languages including Italian, Russian, Korean, Tagalog, and Cantonese. Her research reveals that heritage languages maintain significant complexity and often follow similar patterns of variation as homeland varieties, challenging assumptions about simplification in heritage language grammars. Dean's Research Excellence Award, University of Toronto (2022) Dean's Excellence Award, University of Toronto (2016, 2017, 2021, 2022) LabEx Visiting Professor (Chaire Internationale 2022), Université de Paris (Spring 2022) Marco Polo Visiting Professor, University of Groningen (Summer 2015) Distinguished Visiting Professor, Queen Mary University London (March 2013) Dr. Nagy has successfully supervised numerous graduate students and secured significant research funding. She directs the Heritage Language Variation and Change (HLVC) Project, which has received multiple grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), including Insight Grants for 'Ethnolinguistic variation and change: coordinating production and perception' (2018-2025) and 'Heritage languages speakers in Toronto -- what do they tell sociolinguists?' (2015-2022). Her research has involved over 50 students in its first two years and continues to expand. Dr. Nagy leads the Heritage Language Variation and Change in Toronto Project, which documents and analyzes variation in 10 heritage languages spoken in Toronto (Cantonese, Faetar, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog and Ukrainian). She has also developed methodology and a corpus of recorded conversational data for these languages. Additionally, she has worked extensively on documenting Faetar, an endangered Francoprovençal language, creating a descriptive grammar, online teaching materials, and currently developing #FPglobal, a social media platform to support inter-dialectal communication in Francoprovençal.
