Anamaria Bentea

I study language acquisition and processing in monolingual and bilingual children and adults, with a focus on Romance languages like Romanian and French. I am particularly interested in how speakers represent and use grammatical knowledge both in their native and non-native language(s) and in determining how the languages of a bilingual speaker develop in contact with each other. I conduct comprehension and production experiments using behavioral and eye-tracking methods.

I am a Research Fellow in Department of Linguistics and the Zukunftskolleg at the University of Konstanz. 

Before coming to Konstanz, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences and the Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics Lab at the University of Reading where I worked on a project investigating the acquisition of multiple wh-dependencies in Romanian-English bilingual children.
