Research Interests

Photo of Phil Connell My research interests span the disciplines of language disorders, language acquisition, psycholinguistics and linguistics. The central questions addressed by my research are how language impaired children's mental grammars differ from those of normal children, and how these differences can be circumvented by manipulating the teaching environment.

Teaching Responsibilities/Interests

At the undergraduate level, I teach introductory courses in language acquisition and disorders to majors and non-majors. At the graduate level, I teach the application of linguistic theories to clinical cases and research methods applicable to language research.
