I am a CNRS researcher working in the Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive in Aix-Marseille University.

My research focuses on language development and its link to the structure of languages. How do children quickly learn huge vocabularies, without training or feedback, and in noisy environments? Why is the vocabulary of natural languages the way it is? To answer these questions I rely on psycholinguistic experiments with infants and children which I combine with computational methods to study the structure of languages.
