Lab

About

This is the page for the Minnesota Syntax & Psycholinguistics Lab (or MSPLab; Not to be confused with the other MSPLab – Multi-Sensory Perception Lab – in the same building). We are interested in the intersection of experimental syntax/semantics and sentence processing research. How can quantitative approaches to judgments and time-course data enrich our accounts of grammatical phenomena, and how is detailed grammatical knowledge employed and represented by the mind?

We meet every Fridays in Elliot S225 at 10:00 AM. We usually have some coffee and occasionally snacks, so stop by!
