We are pleased to announce that this Fall a new student will start his Ph.D. studies in the Language Comprehension Lab.
Benedek Bartha finished his MA studies in linguistics at the University of Edinburgh. He is interested in the relationships between language, cognition and communication, particularly in how speakers make informative and useful choices for the given context and partner(s) and how those choices interact with cross-linguistic patterns.
His PhD will investigate the evolution of evidentials (markers for information source) by asking how their use, learning and comprehension are influenced by varying communicative dynamics.
Congratulations to Benedek on the admission and we wish him all the best for his PhD studies!
