Teresa Parodi specializes in language acquisition, focusing specifically on grammar acquisition in monolingual contexts as well as simultaneous bilingualism. Her research is grounded in corpus-based experimental data and is informed by generative grammar principles. Parodi's recent studies emphasize the role of formal features in language acquisition, particularly in elements such as child Spanish relatives and the acquisition of clitics in adult second language learners. She has published extensively on these topics in recognized journals including Language Research and Language Acquisition. In addition to her research, she has contributed overview articles on language acquisition theory to major compilations such as the Routledge Linguistics Encyclopedia and the Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics. Parodi is also a member of the Cambridge Bilingualism Network, an outreach initiative that aims to enhance understanding of the benefits and challenges of bilingualism through the dissemination of cutting-edge research and the establishment of supportive networks among researchers, educators, and parents involved with bilingual children.
