Dr. Pernelle Lorette joined the University of Mannheim as Academic Staff Member in 2020. She mainly conducts research on emotion (e.g. cross-linguistic and cross-cultural emotion perception), the language-cognition interface in bilinguals (e.g. motion event construal), and second language processing (e.g. language prediction). She mainly uses quantitative research methods, including eye-tracking and online surveys.
