The LLAMA Lab is a psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic laboratory in the department of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.

Our research focuses on the long term cognitive and linguistic repercussions of early informal translation experience (i.e., language brokering). Other interests include: bilingualism/multilingualism, code-switching, figurative language, humor, Latina/o psychology, and creativity.

We are in need of research assistants that can assist in data collection and coding. Some knowledge of Spanish is desired, but not required.
