Talking Heads is a weekly reading group for psycholinguistics, with a general focus on Meaning issues. It is run by Gillian Ramchand, Sergey Minor and Natalia Mitrofanova.
The articles chosen will be decided by mutual agreement depending on the interests of the group, and posted on the CASTLFish website. Please contact Gillian to be added to the mailing list. You are welcome to join whenever one of the papers is of particular interest to you. But email in advance so that we can make sure that the room is large enough to accommodate the number of people attending.
The group meets on irregular Thursdays, but always at 1415-1600 in E1004 unless otherwise noted. Keep consulting this page for weekly updates of what specifically we are reading.
