WiSe 14/15: Progress in Brain Language Research
Friedemann Pulvermüller
Information for students
für DaF-Studierende: Da dieses K in engl. Sprache stattfindet, wird es nicht für Studierende empfohlen, die ihre Sprachkompetenz im Deutschen ausbauen wollen. Diese Studierenden werden auf das reguläre DaF-Masterkolloquium Sprachwissenschaft im SS 2015 verwiesen. close
Comments
This colloquium will focus on recent advances in the investigation of brain mechanisms of language. It is designed for students and young researchers interested in an explanation of how the brain controls speech production, realises language comprehension and connects linguistic symbols with meaning and human interaction. The field of neurolinguistics will be broadly covered, with possible foci on phonological, lexical, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic questions. Further topics will be neurological language deficits, the neuroplastic changes following lesion of language relevant areas of the brain and the learning and relearning of language both in an experimental/language teaching context and in neurorehabilitation. We may also discuss explicit explanatory models of language mechanisms in the human brain.
The colloquium will cover cutting edge publications in the brain language domain and current research projects in the Brain Language Laboratory of the Freie Universität Berlin. Ideal participants will aim at a BA, MA or PhD in the brain language sciences and may come from linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, or medicine. Participants may review a recent research publication or will be given an opportunity to present their own research plan or ongoing research project. Presentations of guest scientists will be part of this course.
