Figure 1: Timing of syntactic processing following different strategies. The colored circles refer to the nodes of the syntactic structure that are built at the time point the word in the same color ...

A team of linguistics and psychology researchers has discovered that when a brief sentence is flashed, our brains detect its basic linguistic structure extremely quickly -- in roughly 150 milliseconds ...

To understand language, we have to remember the words that were uttered and combine them into an interpretation. How does the brain retain information long enough to accomplish this, despite the fact ...

A research team led by Prof. Lin Nan from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that during sentence processing, the neural activity of two canonical language areas—the ...

As if wrinkled skin and stiff joints were not enough reason to dread getting older, research also indicates that our cognitive skills decline with age, with potential deficits including less efficient ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examine neural networks in the left language-dominant hemisphere responsible for semantic integration using intracranial recordings in ...

A number of far-reaching claims about the nature of Universal Grammar characterize the theoretical literature in linguistics over the past forty years, and they often carry the implicit expectation ...

The sixth edition of the South Asian Forum on the Acquisition and Processing of Language (SAFAL) will be held between 17-19 November 2025 at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The conference will ...
