UCLA Language Processing Lab

Welcome to the UCLA Language Processing Lab

We are an interdisciplinary research space dedicated to exploring language and cognition through a multitude of methods.

Current projects include behavioral judgments to written and auditory stimuli, eye movements while reading and listening, pupillometry, and corpus work.

Our current research topics include:

Effects of lexical neighborhood on natural reading (with Stephanie Rich and Ian Rigby)
Predictive processing with correlatives and concessives (with Stephanie Rich)
Implicit prosody and garden path sentences (with Sun-Ah Jun and Adam Royer)
Effects of prosodic breaks in resolving structural ambiguity in pupillometry (with Alexandra Lawn and Marju Kaps
Resolving attachment ambiguity in restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses (with Marju Kaps and Alexandra Lawn)
Preferences for focus realization with focus sensitive particles (with Katy Carlson)

Learn more about our current research.

We are located on the second floor of Campbell Hall in room 2226 on North Campus. Find Campbell Hall on the map.
