The area of Neurolinguistics, the study of the brain in relation to language processing, is an area I have also pursued over the past fifteen years.&nbsp; Finally, I have also worked with fossilization of languages through studies of endangered languages.&nbsp; This is an important aspect of language that we must face as English or other languages become dominant to the point that we lose use of some truly special and unique cultural languages that continue to decline.&nbsp; We should be aware of this tendency and somehow sustain these endangered languages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Research Interests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bilingualism, Multiculturalism, Second Language Acquisition, Language Transfer, Codeswitching, CHILDES, Applied Linguistics, Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, and Endangered Languages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Academic Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2004 Ph.D.&nbsp; (Information Sciences) Nagoya University<br>1995 MS (Linguistics) Georgetown University<br>1988 BA (Interdisciplinary) [Minor Japanese, Business Management, Political Science] University of Portland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Major Publications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Wanner, P.
