Biography
Dr Minna Kirjavainen-Morgan has received her PhD Psychology (Language Acquisition), University of Manchester, 2008. I am a psycholinguist primarily interested in how people learn first (L1) and second language (L2) syntax and morphology and whether one's native language(s) affect the way they perceive the world. I investigate these topics by employing corpus and experimental methods.
