Psycholinguistics

Psycholinguistics research at Stanford is highly interdisciplinary, investigating how humans produce, comprehend, and acquire language within the broader context of mind, brain, and society.

Research

We integrate diverse theoretical interests and methodological approaches including computational and experimental pragmatics, speech and language processing, language acquisition, social interaction, and language and auditory neuroscience. This breadth of expertise enables us to study the full complexity of human language use across multiple timescales and levels of analysis.

Community

Our vibrant psycholinguistics community comprises multiple core labs, each of which holds weekly group meetings and informal reading groups. We also collaborate broadly with students and faculty in other subfields of the department and with a number of affiliated labs in neighboring disciplines (psychology, computer science, and neuroscience).
