GĂ©raldine Walther’s research interests lie at the intersection between computational linguistics, linguistic typology, and cognitive science. She is investigating in the degree of internal cohesion within linguistic systems, which she researches using computational and quantitative methodologies applied to original data. Her approach focuses specifically on system-level patterns of linguistic sub-organization and their consequences for cognitive processing and development and diachronic change.
