Research summary
AI-generated

Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig studies how people learn to use a second language, with a focus on pragmatics (how meaning and social intent are conveyed through language) and the way learners acquire tense and aspect (how verbs express time). Much of the work looks at how classroom instruction affects language development and how learners recognize and use conventional expressions and speech acts such as refusals. The research also addresses methods for studying these questions, including corpus (large text collection) and data-driven approaches.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
