Petra Hendriks is an internationally influential linguistics researcher who combines theoretical analysis and psycholinguistic methods in her work. Hendriks explores how language comprehension develops in ‘ideal’ circumstances, but also how it develops in ‘less ideal’ listeners, for example children with autism, ADHD or hearing impairments.
Hendriks also studies how speakers allow for a listener’s ability to hear and understand them.
