Dr. Rikke Bundgaard-Nielsen is an experimental psycholinguist, with a particular interest in the acquisition and processing of Australian Indigenous languages. She has worked with speakers of a range of Indigenous Australian languages, including Wubuy/Nunggubuyu and Warlpiri and the contact varieties (Roper) Kriol and Light Warlpiri, as well as speakers of European (English, Danish) and and Asian (Japanese, Mandarin) languages. She studies both first and second language acquisition to understand the relationship between human cognitive abilities and language experience in the intersections between phonetics, phonology, phonotactics and the lexicon.
