Language in the Brain – Blog series started!
Ta da! Voilà!
First blog entry starting my series “Language in the Brain” is here.
In this series I will be developing some of the my ideas about language, enlighten it with some of my research and what I know in the scientific literature while keeping it rather informal.
Hope you guys like it :)
LITB Blog SeriesI am a PhD student in Neurolinguistics @ Bangor University. Along with being a bit of a psychology/brain geek, I love to act, sing and dance and I have been performing with local university student societies for the past 3 years. I also like to take pictures when I’m not too busy.
My research interests range over the following areas: psycholinguistics • neurolinguistics • bilingualism • language acquisition • semantics • philosophy of language. I am particularly interested with how and the extent to which language relates with other cognitive mechanisms and issues such as the relation between language and thought; what thought is made of; the extent to which language is innate; where and how language is represented in the minds of monolinguals and bilinguals. You can find out more on my research page.

You should follow me on twitter here.
I’m in the process of creating some content but you’ll have to be patient because I’m still writing up my PhD thesis.
Meanwhile, here is where you can pick my brain about anything you’d like me to answer or talk about in the future.
So don’t hesitate
Pick my brain!
