Research on Bilingualism in Theory and Practice at Bangor University. Her
research interests concern the interaction between the knowledge of two lan-
guages in the bilingual mind, the effect of non-linguistic factors on bilingual
language development, and issues of language assessment such as the impor-
tance of assessing bilinguals in their two languages for a more complete pic-
ture of their language ability.

lingual and bilingual acquisition of phonology and grammar, in typical and
atypical development, as well as on neurolinguistic processing in adult
