What do we do at PALM?
Humans use language every day for all kinds of different tasks. And when we do, most of our attention is on what we’re trying to communicate, not on the structure of the sentences we’re using. Even so, we produce sentences according to consistent rules and understand them quickly and flexibly. This requires a massive amount of knowledge about how our languages work! How do children build up that knowledge in just a few short years? At PALM, we explore how children learn about, represent and process their languages.
