About Jeffrey

Jeffrey D. Witzel is Associate Professor, Department Chair, and Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Texas at Arlington. He earned his PhD from the University of Arizona and joined UTA in 2010 as Assistant Professor, advancing to Associate Professor and assuming the role of Department Chair in Spring 2026. As Director of the Psycholinguistics Lab in University Hall, his research centers on psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, with primary interests in lexical processing, sentence comprehension, reading, and second language acquisition. Witzel investigates parsing mechanisms, structural ambiguities, L1/L2 processing differences, and effects like intervenor priming using experimental methods such as eye-tracking, maze tasks, moving-window paradigms, and event-related potentials.
