David Stringer studies how people learn, retain, and lose languages, with particular attention to the structure and meaning of words and sentences. His work spans second and third language acquisition, language attrition (the gradual loss of a language), and how endangered languages encode knowledge about the natural world. He combines theoretical linguistics with questions about teaching and multilingualism.
