Award for "Predicting proficiency in bilingual children"

I'm deeply honoured that this paper has been awarded the Albert Valdman award 2020 for outstanding publication in Studies in Second Language Acquisition.

De Cat, Cécile (2020). Predicting language proficiency in bilingual children. Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 42(2): 279-325. (doi:10.1017/S0272263119000597)

Cécile De Cat, c'est ici

I'm a professor of linguistics at the University of Leeds, UK.
My research explores the following themes:

- Individual differences in language development (due to environmental and cognitive factors)
- Cross-linguistic influences in advanced L2 speakers
- Information structure and discourse competence
- Experimental syntax
I have a keen interest in statistical modelling and data visualisation in R.
Through Language@Leeds and the Centre for Applied Education Research, I try to develop partnerships with teachers to enhance research-informed approaches to education.
