Dr. Josep Demestre | Grup | Grup de recerca GIP

Sóc psicolingüista i, com a tal, m'interessa com la ment humana comprèn, produeix i adquireix el llenguatge. Estic impressionat per l'estructura rica del llenguatge humà, especialment els innombrables detalls dels quals no en som conscients. Vull saber, en termes cognitius i neurocientífics, com es codifiquen i es manipulen les estructures lingüístiques. Amb la meva recerca, intento entendre com la comprensió del llenguatge avança sense dificultats, malgrat la complexitat aparent d'aquest procés. Em centro en el processament en temps real de les llengües romàniques com el castellà i el català. En particular, la meva recerca busca conèixer com i quan els parlants adults nadius i bilingües d'una llengua fan ús de diferents fonts d'informació (lingüístiques i extralingüístiques) quan comprenen frases en temps real. Estic particularment interessat en la relació entre la gramàtica i el sistema humà de processament de frases (el "parser"). Per abordar aquestes qüestions, duc a terme experiments de comprensió utilitzant mètodes conductuals, de seguiment ocular, i neurofisiològics.
