LAMiNATE Members

Anders Agebjörn, senior lecturer of Swedish as a second langauge at Malmö university. Agebjörn researches language testing and assessment as well as language development and learning strategies.

Malin Ågren, associate professor of French linguistics. Ågren studies the second language acquisition of French morpho-syntax and the teaching and learning of second/foreign languages in the Swedish school context. 

Panos Athanasopoulos, professor of English Studies. Athanasopoulos works in the areas of experimental cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, linguistic relativity, bilingual cognition, language acquisition.

Annika Andersson, associate professor of psychology. Andersson’s research focuses on second language learning, more specifically on how the brain processes a first language and a second language.

Ketty Andersson, works at the institution of Logopedics, Phoniatrics and Audiology. Andersson’s research focuses on explicit and implicit instruction of narrative skills for preschool-aged children.

Henriette Arndt, postdoctoral researcher in General Linguistics and the research platform LAMiNATE (Language Acquisition, Multilingualism, and Teaching). Arndt's research primarily focuses on how people use, and consequently learn, languages beyond the classroom, in their everyday lives (on–and offline).

Anna Flyman Mattsson, associate professor of Swedish as a second language. Flyman Mattsson’s research deals with language acquisition in different ages, with a particular focus on grammatical development.

Sabine Gosselke Berthelsen, postdoctoral researcher in General Linguistics. Gosselke Berthelsen currently conducts research comparing first and second language users' processing of a typologically rare prosody-morphology association in Danish.

Jonas Granfeldt, professor of French linguistics, leader of leader of LAMiNATE, and co-chair of the research programme TEAM (Transdisciplinary Approaches to
Learning, Acquisition, Multilingualism). Granfeldt has a wide interest in different modes of language acquisition, including comparative work on early bilingualism, child and adult L2 acquisition with a focus on morphosyntax and lexicon, but he also works in educational linguistics focusing on modern languages and foreign language policy.

Maria Graziano, associate professor of linguistics and pedagogical developer at Lund University Humanities Lab. Graziano’s research targets first language acquisition and multimodal communication (speech and gesture relationship) from a developmental and a cross-linguistic perspective. Between 2021 and 2023, Graziano served as coordinator of the research platform LAMiNATE.

Marianne Gullberg, professor of psycholinguistics, director of the Lund University Humanities Lab, leader of LAMiNATE, and chair of the research programme TEAM (Transdisciplinary Approaches to
Learning, Acquisition, Multilingualism). Gullberg studies acquisition and real time language use in adult L2 and multilingual speakers, targeting semantics, discourse, and gesture production and comprehension.

Henrik Gyllstad, associate professor of English linguistics. Gyllstad's main research interests are within second language acquisition and language testing.

Kristina Hansson, associate professor of Logopedics, Phoniatrics and Audiology. Hansson's main research areas are grammatical and lexical-semantic development and vulnerability in children with developmental language disorders, in multilingual children, and in children with different degrees of hearing impairment.

Alastair Henry, professor of language education. Henry's research involves the psychology of language learning, particularly motivation, language learners’ communication behaviors, language teachers’ motivational practices and teacher identity development.

Mikael Johansson, professor of Psychology. Johansson’s research concerns the cognitive neuroscience of learning, memory, and cognitive control. 

Roger Johansson, associate professor of Psychology. Johansson's research revolves around the neurocognitive interplay between eye movements, visual attention, memory systems, internal simulation, cognition, communication and learning.

Victoria Johansson, professor in the Teaching and learning of Swedish. Johansson’s research interest includes language development through the lifespan with a particular focus on language production and cognitive aspects of writing.

Tomas Jungert, associate professor of psychology. Jungert’s research interests are found in psychology and include work psychology, educational psychology, and social psychology and concern, for example, studies on motivation and school bullying.

Mikael Novén, postdoc in Movement and Neurosciences at the University of Copenhagen and visiting research fellow in Logopedics, Phoniatrics and Audiology at Lund University. Novén uses electroencephalograms (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the functional and structural networks of the brain and their reconfigurations while learning.

Elin Nylander, doctoral student in English linguistics. Nylander’s PhD project focuses on vocabulary learning in multilingual English classrooms.

Carita Paradis, professor of English Language and Linguistics. Paradis’s research concerns the dynamics of meaning-making in human communication and is situated within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics.

Céline Rocher Hahlin, senior lecturer of French. Rocher Hahlin researches foreing language teaching and learning, with a particular focus on motivation.

Mikael Roll, professor of Phonetics. Roll conducts research in neurolinguistics on how the brain processes spoken language.

Susan Sayehli, senior lecturer of Swedish as a second language. Sayehli researches second language acquisition with a particular focus on cross-linguistic influence and motivation.

Frida Splendido, senior lecturer of Swedish as a second and foreign language and deputy director of Lund University Humanities Lab. Splendido's main research interests are language teaching and language acquisition in beginner second-language learners, with a particular interest in phonetic-phonological development.

Lari-Valtteri Suhonen, senior lecturer at the Department of Educational Work, University of Borås. Suhonen's research mainly relates to third language acquisition and cross-linguistic influence.
