This research is driven by the recognition that structural/typological and socio-cultural diversity provides important and unique opportunities to see language processing and language learning mechanisms at work. The bulk of processing and acquisition research represents only a small fraction of linguistic diversity, and this risks biasing both our theories and our research questions.</span></p><div style="line-height: 1.38;
