Biography

Sergey Avrutin is a Professor at Utrecht University specializing in Comparative Psycholinguistics. His research emphasizes the application of information theory to language processing, focusing on both production and comprehension in typically and atypically developing children, as well as adults and individuals with aphasia. He led the NWO-sponsored PIONEER research program on Comparative Psycholinguistics from 2000 to 2005. His NWO-sponsored projects delve into the psycholinguistic aspects of the syntax-discourse interface and special registers, such as newspaper headlines and TV commentary.
