Research in Language Sciences

UCL is the home to a number of research groups within language sciences. These cover a wide range of activities across the field including Philosophy of language, Pragmatics, Semantics, Syntax, Phonology, Phonetics, Speech Science and Hearing, together with work in the study of Speech and Language Disorder and Therapy, Audiology, Voice Pathology and Sign Language. The targets of our investigation include the nature of linguistic communication, the form and structure of language, the development of language, disorders of communication and the evolution of language. Our methodology ranges across conventional arts-based academic study, clinical studies, corpus-linguistic studies, computational models, acoustic analysis, speech perception and functional neuroimaging.
