Project description

The project focuses on an individual’s language, which serves as an irreplaceable means of communication with the outside world for every person. It examines how we acquire language in childhood [Research Intent 1], how it functions in adults [Research Intent 2], and what challenges individuals face as a result of aging [Research Intent 3]. The goal of the project is to conduct interdisciplinary research based on a combination of linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience, which, by producing cutting-edge results, will enable an adequate and effective response to the global challenges of contemporary society related to language.
