Head of School

Prof. Ramona Kunene Nicolas

An Associate Professor of Linguistics specialising in Psycholinguistics. My research explores language development, processing, and production in multilingual African contexts. I examine how individuals acquire, understand, and use language, how linguistic and pragmatic abilities emerge, and how meaning is constructed through discourse and multimodal communication, with particular attention to the relationship between speech and gesture.
