Everyone just calls me (in English) by my middle name, Henny. I am a linguist and cognitive scientist who mainly does fundamental research in these areas:

• Prosody and speech style
  In speech directed to infants and children by caregivers, as used in digital media, and produced using emerging speech technologies
• Technology in second language (L2) acquisition
  With adults learning to listen and read in their L2, and with children learning multiple languages in heritage and immigrant contexts
• Speech learning in infancy and childhood
  How seeing talking faces and themselves producing speech may help young learners acquire phonological patterns
