Lexical variables such as iconicity or age of acquisition are known to be important sources of variance in psycholinguistic experiments. To control for such variables, researchers working on German Sign Language (DGS) need to use stimuli rated for …
The capacity for language is a defining property of our species, yet despite decades of research evidence on its neural basis is still mixed and a generalized consensus is difficult to achieve. We suggest that this is partly caused by researchers …
Multimodal communication research focuses on how different means of signalling coordinate to communicate effectively. This line of research is traditionally influenced by fields such as cognitive and neuroscience, human-computer interaction, and …
Von der Kindheit bis zum Erwachsenenalter wächst unser aktiver Wortschatz stetig auf etwa 20.000 Wörter, die wir nach bestimmten Regeln zu unendlich vielen sprachlichen Ausdrücken verknüpfen. Da Sätze oberflächlich betrachtet eine Aneinanderreihung …

So unterschiedlich die mehr als 7000 Sprachen der Welt auf den ersten Blick erscheinen, so sehr vereint sie eines: Alle folgen grammatikalischen Regeln, die Wörter zu Sätzen zusammensetzen. Egal, ob gesprochen, geschrieben oder gebärdet wird. Woher …
A round-up of research into language and the brain, from the early days to contemporary studies that use a variety of neuroimaging techniques, sketching the current relationship between linguistics and neuroscience.
