Public workshop by Language Development Lab | HKU Linguistics Friday, 2nd Nov, 13:30 - 14:30 9.27 Run Run Shaw Tower, Department of Linguistics Speech is made up of sounds. Understanding how these sounds are created is an important part of linguistic science, but a major obstacle in investigation speech production is that much of the process takes place inside the vocal tract, invisible to the naked eye. Recently, linguists studying speech sounds have begun to use ultrasound (or sonography) to look at the movement of the tongue during speech production. With the help of ultrasound, we can see how the tongue […] |

Title: The evolution of language as a neurobiological system: Current Progress and Implications Time: Thursday 29 November, 3.30pm Place: Room 4.04, Run Run Shaw Tower, Centennial Campus, University of Hong Kong Abstract: Evidence from neuro-imaging, neuropsychological and behavioral studies points to a Dual Neurobiological Systems approach to human language and communication. Potentially human-specific capacities in the domain of combinatorial morphosyntax are primarily supported by a left-hemisphere frontal-temporal system. These operate in conjunction with a bihemispheric system largely based on capacities for conspecific communication that we hold in common with our nonhuman primate relatives. Placing these hypotheses in their palaeoanthropological context, and adopting […] |
