Scott A. Schwenter studies how Spanish and Portuguese speakers actually use grammar and discourse in real speech, focusing on topics like verb tense/mood choice, object pronouns, negation, and possession constructions. His work combines corpus data and experiments to explain why speakers pick one form over another across different dialects of Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, and how listeners interpret discourse cues like 'wait' across languages.
