Dr Stephan C. Meylan and Professor Roger Levy | The Nature and Origins of Grammatical Productivity

Leipzig Lectures on Language
Stephan Meylan is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Computational Psycholinguistics Lab in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and a Postdoctoral Associate in the Bergelson Lab in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. He studies the relationship of language processing and language development—with a focus on the emergence of combinatorial morphosyntax— using a combination of computational models, corpus studies, and in-lab experiments. Roger Levy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research focuses on theoretical and applied questions in the processing and acquisition of natural language, employing computational modeling, psycholinguistic experimentation, and analysis of large naturalistic language datasets.
