Brief Biography
Joseph Galasso.
Primary research focus: His main area of expertise is early child language development. He studies how the fundamental assumptions of the 'Minimalist Program' (Chomsky 1995) can explain the stages of how children develop their morphosyntax. He has published research exploring how children first use a simple 'Merge' process before transitioning to more complex 'Move' operations. He is also a notable contributor to topics in neurolinguistics, exploring the intersection of language, artificial intelligence (specifically recursive vs. recurrent AI), and neurocircuitry, including the role of the basal ganglia.
Affiliations and Mentions: His research on minimalist approaches to language acquisition has been referenced by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as by the Oxford Handbook of Developmental Linguistics and Oxford Bibliographies in Linguistics. Joseph is an Open Researcher and Contributor (Orcid). His most recent works can also be found at the Center for Open Science (OSF).
