Talking about where objects are located (e.g. in the cup; in front of the cinema; to the left of the stapler; this phone, etc.) is an essential part of language and is underpinned by both linguistic and visuospatial brain networks. Projects are invited on this topic, joining the research group of Prof. Kenny Coventry. Possible projects include work on the neural mechanisms underpinning spatial language and spatial memory; cross-linguistic studies examining the relationship between language and perception; spatial language and the ageing brain; spatial language in a second language; talking about quantities in space. Please contact [email protected] is you would like to discuss a possible project. More information regarding this area can be found on www.kennycoventry.org .
