Research interests
My research focuses on the development of early vocabulary and grammar in Mongolian-speaking children. In my doctoral research project, I am working on an “acquisition sketch” — an overview of Mongolian language development from ages 18 to 48 months — following the Sketch Acquisition Manual (Defina et al., 2023). I am also developing a Mongolian adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI).
