Magdalena Smoczyńska, born 25 April 1947 in Kraków,[1] is a Polish psycholinguist and expert in the development of language in children. She is an emeritus reader in the department of linguistics at Jagiellonian University where she was once head of the Child Language Laboratory[2] and studied specific language impairment (SLI) at the Institute for Educational Research (2012-2015).[3] She is the first author of the first Polish comprehensive normed language assessment tool for children aged 4-8 years (Test Rozwoju Językowego TRJ, Smoczyńska et al., 2015)[4]
Life and work
While much of her research is about language acquisition in Polish-speaking children, it has cross-linguistic and international significance.[5] She has been a visiting professor at the University at Buffalo[6] and the University of Sheffield, and is a life member of the Linguistic Society of America.
She is the daughter of Anna and Jerzy Turowicz, once editor of Tygodnik Powszechny magazine. She was awarded a Ph.D in 1978 from Jagiellonian University and a Dr. hab. in 1988.
Private life
Magdalena Turowicz married Wojciech Smoczyński around 1970. Their children are Michał and Maciej (twins born in 1971) and Wawrzyniec (born 1976).
