Welcome to the Language Acquisition Lab at the University of Texas at El Paso!

 

The lab is directed by Dr. Carla Contemori, Associate Professor in Linguistics in the Latin-US and Linguistics department, and member of the Consortium for Scientific Research on Bilingualism at UTEP. 

Research conducted in the lab focuses on the acquisition of syntax and discourse in children and adult learners from a psycholinguistic perspective. We are interested in the underlying processes of comprehension and production of different languages, including English, Spanish and Italian.
