The Experimental Linguistics and Syntactic Cartography Laboratory offers support and develops research projects on language processing. Through its laboratory spaces and the equipment available to researchers and students, it promotes interdisciplinary research of both an experimental and theoretical nature.The research areas include the following:

• Syntactic processing and real-time parsing strategies, studied through event-related potentials (ERPs) and eye movements during reading.

• Learning models in childhood and adulthood, concerning both the mother tongue and second languages.

• Computational models of language processing (Natural Language Processing) and the study of Large Language Models used in Artificial Intelligence applications.

• Theoretical research on sentence structures, through detailed cartographies of syntactic architecture.

• Studies in phonetics and phonology, analyzing the connections between prosodic contours and the corresponding syntactic structures.

• Clinical studies on language disorders, both in childhood (Developmental Language Disorder, Autism) and adulthood (aphasia, Alzheimer’s disease).
