We started in the academic year 2015/2016 and we aim to present and discuss good practices in the research on linguistics APPLIED to various domains of studies. Each time we want to present a cutting-edge piece of linguistic research with a slight twist towards PSYCHOLINGUISTICS.
The speakers will discuss:
- their aims, resulting in the particular research design;
- ways of gathering data (instruments, equipment, procedures);
- results and their interpretation;
- challenges and opportunities offered by the particular methodology applied.
The meetings take place on WEDNESDAYS at 5 pm. The topic of the meeting and the exact place is advertised on Facebook and on posters in the Institute.
