As to the Presenter
 
Presentation Title：Mapping language in mind: Unraveling the mechanisms of lexical processing and learning. 
 
Abstract：
With over 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, understanding how humans process and acquire language remains a crucial challenge. Language has been extensively studied through an interdisciplinary lens, using methodologies from fields such as psychology to explore its sounds, structures, meanings, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying language use and acquisition in both monolinguals and bilinguals. More recently, neuroscience has provided new insights by incorporating methods for studying brain function. In this seminar, I will present findings that leverage these approaches to examine how Japanese words are processed and learned as a foreign language, offering insights into language comprehension and learning.
