We carry out research into the cognitive processes involved in language production and comprehension across modalities. We explore how language is acquired and represented in the mind, using a range of experimental approaches in our Linguistics Research Laboratory.
Areas of research include:
- Construction Grammar
- Cognitive Linguistics and cognitive variables
- Embodied cognition and metaphor
- First and second language acquisition
- Formulaic language and lexical patterns
- Individual differences in language processing
- Language and the brain / clinical linguistics
- Memory and attention
- Sensory language
