Projects within this topic centre on real-time comprehension and production in L2 learners at different proficiency levels, and focus on different linguistic levels, including syntax, semantics, discourse and pragmatics. Researchers combine traditional SLA methodologies with psycholinguistic techniques, including eye-tracking, self-paced reading and listening and ERP recordings. Researchers also look at the cross-linguistic influences of languages during processing, which include Czech, Dutch, English, Finish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Slovak and Turkish.
