Présentation

My research focuses on language acquisition, language processing, and on understanding the core features of language more generally. How do children quickly learn huge vocabularies, without training or feedback, and in noisy environments? Why is the vocabulary of natural languages the way it is? What are the building blocks of language and when did they evolved across our phylogeny? To answer these questions, I rely on methods and tools from psycholinguistics, developmental psychology, comparative psychology, artificial intelligence and information theory, together with a large array of concepts drawn from linguistics, philosophy and anthropology.
