Neurolinguistics

Goals & Means to formulate theories on how and where language representation in the brain aphasiology –focus on crosslinguistic research to grammatical deficits neuro imaging –focus on language processing by the right hemisphere (ambiguity; idioms) language acquisition disorders –focus on grammatical deficits and dyslexia

Strengths internationally recognized work, especially on aphasiology and neuro imaging excellent educational system: –EMCL –relatively many PhD students many peer-reviewed papers in international journals –not all in self study

Weaknesses small, so vulnerable group dyslexia highly dependent on soft money

Opportunities joint PhD program with Universität Postdam, aiming for EM status two applications for NWO program grants

Threats too heavy teaching load very small group
