I am currently a research fellow in Psycholinguistics at the Phonetics Lab at the Institute of Estonian and General Linguistics of the University of Tartu, Estonia, working with Pärtel Lippus on a project on the processing of spontaneous speech in Estonian, and in particular on how morphology influences this process.
My PhD dissertation combined large-scale item designs, behavioural methods, and eye tracking as well as advanced statistics to investigate how adult native speakers of Estonian from a wide age range comprehend and produce case-inflected nouns in their native language. The research was conducted under the supervision of Juhani Järvikivi and Harald Baayen at the Department of Linguistics of the University of Alberta.
