Research summary
AI-generated

Lori Czerwionka studies how people learn to use language appropriately in social and cultural context, focusing on Spanish (and some Italian) second-language pragmatics—things like politeness, requests, discourse markers, and compliments. Much of the work examines how these skills develop during study-abroad experiences, including interactions with host families and intercultural understanding. This research would suit students interested in applied linguistics, second-language acquisition, and cross-cultural communication.
