Katy Carlson received a B.A. in linguistics from Yale University in 1995, followed by a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2001. Her research interests are primarily in psycholinguistics, focusing on how people understand sentences and how prosody and intonation affect comprehension. Her research is heavily experiment-driven, so she can often be found in the Linguistics Laboratory. She teaches graduate courses in advanced syntax and psycholinguistics.
