  • Research:
    My current research is examining cohesion in discourse and the development of cohesive techniques in mother-child speech.

    How do children learn to know what is appropriate to say in conversation? In discourse, sentences are linked together by cohesive elements: reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction, and lexical cohesion (Halliday & Hasan, 1976). These cohesive elements can also be described in terms of the information that is maintained across sentences. Participants can choose what elements to hold over to create a new and relevant sentence in discourse, as well as what can be left out pertaining to shared knowledge. My research examines transcripts of mother-child speech to observe the developmental trajectories children take to learn and employ particular methods.
