Our
research looks into the mental structures and
representations underlying human language processing.
Examples of questions we are trying to answer include:
- How does the listener identify words and word boundaries in connected speech?
- What information is stored in the mental "dictionary"?
- What changes take place to the lexicon during language development?
- How do people combine the meanings of words to understand sentences?
- How is language mapped, as it unfolds in time, onto the visual world?
- How are computational models of sequence learning relevant for understanding natural language development and its processing?
- How do we translate our thoughts into speech in language production?
- Does the language we speak influence the way we think?
- What brain mechanisms underlie the production and comprehension of language?
- What is the relationship between production and comprehension processes?
