The mental processes underlying the ability to produce and comprehend fluent speech.
Profile
Dr. Eberhard's research investigates the mental processes underlying the ability to produce and comprehend fluent speech. Her work in language production examines the process by which speakers formulate unambiguous referential expressions and the processes involved in establishing agreement relations among words in sentences. Her research in language comprehension focuses on the information that is used by listeners to identify the intended referents of spoken utterances, and the influence of bilinguals' native language on their interpretation of words in their second language.
