Dr Francesca Branzi PhD

Research Overview

Key research directions:

1) Does language share resources with other cognitive abilities? What is the relationship between language and social cognition and reasoning?
2) What is the internal organisation of the language system? What type of information is processed during language beyond meaning and how does this information interact with meaning processing? How are complex linguistic meanings built by our brains?
3) How does healthy ageing affect language comprehension and production?
4) How do bi- and multilingual individuals process different languages? What aspects of our experience affect neural responses to native and non-native languages?
