Research in language and linguistic science
Our research is cross-disciplinary and collaborative, with a focus on exploring the development, use and acquisition of linguistic systems.
Research strengths
Understanding the complex nature of language, be it as a means of communication and thought, as a social tool, as an expression of identity, as a multimodal phenomenon, as a window into history and the mind, and as a formal system – is best achieved by the simultaneous pursuit of multiple approaches.
