Director
Alejandro Cuza
Alejandro Cuza is Professor of Spanish and Linguistics and Director of Linguistics at Purdue. His research centers on the psycholinguistic nature and dynamics of second language acquisition, heritage speaker bilingualism and bilingual first language acquisition. More specifically, he examines the extent to which child and adult bilinguals develop target knowledge of morphosyntactic patterns, including tense and aspect distinctions, interrogative subject-verb inversion, differential object marking, gender assignment and agreement and object clitics among other structures. Although he works primarily with Spanish-English bilignuals, he also conducts research on the acquisiton of Spanish among Brazilian-Portuguese, Chinese and Catalan speakers. Other interests include child bi-literacy development, language contact and change and Cuban Spanish. His work has appeared in international peer-review journals including Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Lingua, Second Language Research, Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, Hispania, the Heritage Language Journal among other venues. His most recent publication includes a volume on Cuban Spanish dialectology with Georgetown University Press.
