Speaker

Barbora is a developmental linguist at the University of Edinburgh. Her main research focus is on language development from infancy to preschool years. She examines infant- and child-directed speech and its impact on early language development and how children learn words and grammar in different languages. To study how children's language develops, she uses a range of methods, including experiments with preverbal infants and analyses of real-life linguistic interactions between children and caregivers.
