Hello! We’re the Developmental Underpinnings of Cognition and Kid Linguistics (Duckling) Lab at Boston University’s Department of Linguistics. We study how children and adults learn, use, and make sense of the languages around them.
What we study
The Duckling Lab investigates language across the lifespan — from first words to adult comprehension.
We’re always looking for children, families, and adults to participate in our studies. It’s fun, easy, and makes a real difference.
