La Junta Directiva de la SEPEX
We invite applications for a 3-year PhD position on the neurocognitive processes of multilingual communication at the University of Lille (France, LANGAGE Team of the SCALab Laboratory, Affective and Cognitive Sciences, UMR9193, http://www.scalab.cnrs.fr/index.php/fr/) and the University of Nebrija. The research project seeks to better understand the neurocognitive processes involved in multilingual communication, which are largely unknown. The proposed thesis project offers an innovative opportunity to characterize the neurocognitive processes involved in multilingual communication by looking at both the use of pragmatic information following listening to a second language or a foreign accent and by testing the nature of the brain mechanisms behind fluent communication through the use of pragmatic information during a social interaction. The studies will be conducted in different languages (French, English and Spanish).
