Welcome to the webpage
for the
Prosodic Studies Group (GrEP)
The Prosodic
Studies Group (GrEp) is part of the Unitat
de Recerca en Lingüística (UR-Ling), Department
of Translation and Language Sciences at the Universitat
Pompeu Fabra
AIM
To understand the role of prosody and gesture in human
communication, in language understanding and language
processing. Important areas of interest include the
interface between audiovisual prosody and pragmatics,
the cognitive processes behind the processing of audiovisual
prosody, as well as the acquisition of audiovisual prosody
in L1 and L2. The primary languages under investigation
are Catalan, Spanish, Occitan, English, and Sardinian.
APPROACH
We use an interdisciplinary approach (linguistic and
psychological) and a combination of methods and techniques
such as linguistic and prosodic/gestural analysis, comparative
(developmental, cross-linguistic) and experimental methods
such as eye-tracking and neuronal analysis techniques
in collaboration with other groups.
