Key objectives
- We offer a forum that allows cross-pollination and development of inter/multi-disciplinary methods or analyses to the multi-lingual/modal mind.
- We bring together experts of different persuasion or competing methodologies to collectively focus on specific empirical and theoretical issues.
- We take a critical look at existing theories and empirical observations with the objective of developing more ecologically valid paradigms both experimentally and theoretically.
Impact
In collaboration with members of the NWO awarded project Crossing Language Borders: A Quest for the Human Language Capacity in West Africa and Central America, we train and mentor BA/MA students in Benin and Belize. We raise public awareness on aspects of multilingualism and code-switching/mixing during various public (online) events.
