Research

PGSL offers a unique combination of perspectives for the study of language and is affiliated with 15 cutting-edge research groups. Research groups are usually based on university campuses, and are staffed by both university faculty and full-time research staff. The research groups affiliated with PGSL work in a wide range of areas, including computational linguistics, theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics and experimental linguistics (including access to state-of-the-art equipment such as EEG and eye-tracking, two phonetics labs, and a ‘baby lab’ for research on newborns and infants). Together, their members work on more than 100 languages, including endangered languages based on fieldwork.
