R.G. Verdonschot, PhD

I am the scientific information specialist from the UB assigned to work with the faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience. 

Research wise, I am interested in how phonological encoding takes place during language production. Specifically, I am investigating whether the initially selected phonological unit is (dis)similar across languages. I have investigated this in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and recently also in Tongan. Second, I am working on information structure in languages. For example, together with Dr. Jenneke v/d Wal (Leiden University), have investigated this in the Makhuwa language in Mozambique which has a very unique way of marking focus.
