Indiana University Bloomington

 

The Language and Cognition Lab (LaCL) is a psycholinguistic lab directed by Professor Charles Lin at Indiana University. LaCL conducts research on the cognitive aspects of language, including sentence processing, language and conceptualization, speech perception, lexical access, phonological awareness, and language acquisition. We are also interested in the interrelation between language and other cognitive capacities such as mathematics and music.

 

 

  • LaCL is located at Weatherly 118 & 120. Ongoing lab meetings on language processing are taking place at the Reading Room of EALC (GB228). If you are interested in participating in the meetings, please send an email to Prof. Charles Lin. Information about the lab meetings can be found here.
  • Prof. Lin will be presenting a talk entitled "Restrictiveness and information status of Chinese relative clauses: Evidence from discourse comprehension" at the Pragmatics Festival at Indiana University (April 19-21, 2012)
  • Prof. Lin will be presenting a poster entitled "Typological perspectives on relative clause processing: Thematic mapping, case markedness, filler-gap integrations, and their relative timing" at the Workshop on the Timing of Grammar: Experimental and Theoretical Considerations in Generative Linguistics in the Old World (GLOW 35) at University of Potsdam, Germany, on March 27, 2012.
  • Nate Sims was awarded the Hutton Honors College Research Partnership Grant to learn about psycholinguistic research with Prof. Charles Lin at LaCL in the Spring of 2012.
  • Prof. Lin is currently offering EALC-E600: Sentence Processing (Spring 2012).
