MLD Publications- January in Review

This January, MLD members published new work spanning psycholinguistics, perception, and multimodal communication across diverse populations. From prosodic processing in Turkish, to auditory perception in autistic adults, to how children coordinate speech and gesture when describing space, these studies highlight how language, cognition, and embodied signals interact in everyday communication.
