Dr. Maxime Tulling

Biography

Maxime Tulling is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Translation at the Université de Montréal. Her research primarily focuses on neurolinguistics and language acquisition. She employs a variety of experimental methodologies to study the processing and comprehension of abstract language, including neural methodologies such as EEG/MEG, eye tracking, and other behavioral experiments. Specifically, her interests lie in how we process, acquire, and represent discourse that describes situations distanced in space and time, such as modal expressions (e.g., 'maybe it's a hamster') and counterfactual expressions (e.g., 'if only the dodos had not gone extinct'). Maxime has led several research projects funded by Canadian research councils, examining social interaction's impact on sound learning in infancy and the representational properties of linguistic expressions of possibility.
