Research summary
AI-generated

Kimberly L. Geeslin studies how people learn Spanish as a second language, with a particular focus on sociolinguistic variation "the ways language use shifts depending on social context, speaker, and situation. Her work examines how adult learners acquire flexible or variable structures (such as different ways of expressing the subject of a sentence) and how they develop attitudes and communicative competence in a new language.

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.
