❓Are #TheoryOfMind (inferring others’ mental states) brain areas always engaged to understand what people mean, or only for specific speech act types? And if so, why? 🤔

🎉 New work in @royalsocietypublishing.org w @isabellaboux.bsky.social& #FPulvermüller

Exciting news! 🎉 I just got a @dfg.de grant award for answering 3 #HOWs:

-“how” our brains process communicative functions,
-“how”we get what others mean, “how”fast it happens, and
-“how” this can feed back into theories of language and mind.

Can’t wait to start it! 😊🥳

🔊 New paper on #pragmatics!
Rising or falling nuclear accentual movement on the sentence-final word is the key #prosodic cue for distinguishing questions from statements in Italian.

New publication on #experimentalpragmatics!

When do listeners recognize speaker´s #communicativefunction conveyed by #prosody?

The Dahlem Center for Linguistics is the new Interdisziplinäres Zentrum Europäische Sprachen 🤩

We’ll be launching this exciting new chapter of linguistics at Freie Universität Berlin (@freieuniversitaet.bsky.social @berlinualliance.bsky.social) with an inaugural symposium on 20 June 2025.
Poster announcing the Inaugural Symposium of the Dahlem Center for Linguistics, which will take place on 20 June 2025 at 4 pm at Freie Universität Berlin. In the background of the poster is a desert landscape with a single tree in the middle
👉Excited to give this talk focus ing on

“when” and “where” speech acts are processed in the brain and

“how” neural evidence can inform back linguistic-pragmatic theory.

Come by if you are around! Looking forward to the discussion!💬😊
Dahlem Lectures in Linguistics are back, and our first guest is Rosario Tomasello (@tomasellor.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social) 🤩

In his talk, he will discuss the neural processing of different speech acts across written, spoken, and gestural modalities.

It's that time again to update the lab's psycholinguistic database page. Lmk if you have any suggestions for stuff I've missed or sections to add (NLP, aphasia, discourse). Any suggestions for improving this hub would be most appreciated. www.reilly-coglab.com/data

📣 🚨 New publication led by #MaximeCarriere simulating monkey and human frontotemporal connectivity structures (AF), revealing that “verbal working memory” emerges only in the human model. 🧠
