Language@Leeds Showcase

Date

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the Language@Leeds showcase on 12th January. The event was kindly introduced by the Vice Chancellor, and through talks and posters showcased research addressing five major challenges:

  1. understanding how language is perceived
  2. understanding how language relates to cognition (in the mind/ in the brain; first or additional language)
  3. teaching language effectively (informed by research findings pertaining to the previous challenge)
  4. processing and modelling natural language computationally
  5. understanding the multimodality of language

 

The event was very well attended with several attendees from outside the University, and in addition to showcasing provided an opportunity for networking at all levels. We very much hope that the Language@Leeds showcase will become an annual event.
