I am always happy to hear from current undergraduates and recent graduates who are considering PhD study. Please have a look at my research interests and publications for an indication of potential areas of interest (www.katriensegaert.com).

Research interests

• How is syntactic and semantic processing instantiated in the brain?
• What is the effect of ageing on language processing?
• What are the mechanisms of syntactic priming?
• Does social context influence core language processing?
