Maki Kubota is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the HeLPiNG (Heritage-bilingual Linguistic Proficiency in their Native Grammar) project at the Department of Language and Culture at UiT. Her work mainly involves examining language development in children, including bilinguals, attriters (returnees), and heritage language speakers. She uses a variety of methods to track language development in children longitudinally.
Alicia Luque (alicia.luque@uit.no)
(Google Scholar)
Alicia Luque is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the HeLPiNG (Heritage-bilingual Linguistic Proficiency in their Native Grammar) project at the Department of Language and Culture at UiT. Her work primarily focuses on investigating the set of individual factors that contribute to proficient bi/multilingualism as well as on elucidating the ways in which the (becoming) bi/multilingual experience impacts linguistic, neurocognitive, and socio-affective function using both psycholinguistics and neurolinguistic methods.
Yanina Prystauka (yanina.prystauka@uit.no)
(Google Scholar)
Yanina Prystauka is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the HeLPiNG (Heritage-bilingual Linguistic Proficiency in their Native Grammar) project at the Department of Language and Culture at UiT. Her work explores the cognitive and neural underpinnings of sentence processing with a special focus on how (heritage language) bilingualism affects the construction of sentence-level meaning representation.
