Lunch Talks

Hélène LOEVENBRUCK : Directrice de Recherche à l'Université Grenoble Alpes “I am not a man, I am Cantona.” “I love football.” As you silently read these quotes, can you hear Eric Cantona’s voice? Can you imagine his next sentence? Inner speech, or endophasia, can take various formats depending on the individual or the situation. It […]

Stephanie Ries Associate Professor, San Diego State University   The dorso-medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), including the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas as well as the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, has been a region of interest in studies of cognitive control and other areas of neuroscience for many years. Yet, traditional models of language production do […]

David Schlangen  : Professor, "Foundations of Computational Linguistics", University of Potsdam Abstract: In the first part of the talk I will present an overview of the activities of my group (Foundations of CompLing at Uni Potsdam), organised around the quest to understand how linguistic communication can yield shared understanding. I will present an analytical framework […]

Anne-Lise Giraud Abstract: The neural computations that make oral communication possible must operate on multiple time scales, both in parallel and recursively. Neuronal oscillations at different scales and their precise coordination are a key instrument of this necessary multiplexing, a phenomenon we are exploring in humans through surface and intracortical EEG. In this presentation, I […]

Jennifer Culbertson Human languages exhibit striking variation. At the same time, certain linguistic patterns crop up again and again, while others seem to be extremely rare. What these tantalising observations tell us about human language is one of the most contentious questions in linguistics. Do similarities between languages reflect a special capacity for language that […]

Dr. Pia Rämä Until recently, there has been little evidence regarding how and when infants begin to integrate words into an inter-connected lexical-semantic system. Recent event-related potential (ERP) studies show that lexical-semantic system emerges together with early vocabulary during the second year of life (Rämä et al., 2013; Rämä et al., 2018). These studies also […]
