We are pleased to announce that Monica Melby-Lervåg (University of Oslo) will deliver a keynote lecture at Linguistics 2026 Paris.
Professor Melby-Lervåg’s research lies at the intersection of psycholinguistics, literacy development, and cognitive science, with a particular focus on how language and reading skills are acquired and how individual differences shape learning outcomes. Her work explores the cognitive mechanisms underpinning language processing, as well as learning difficulties such as dyslexia and language impairments.
Her research combines experimental methods, longitudinal studies, and evidence-based approaches to investigate language and literacy development across populations. Through this work, she contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical applications in education and language sciences, offering an interdisciplinary perspective on how language is processed, learned, and supported in diverse contexts.
