About MPI

 

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute of the German Max Planck Society. Our mission is to undertake basic research into the psychological,social and biological foundations of language. The goal is to understand how our minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other aspects of mind, and how we can learn languages of quite different types.

The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University. We participate in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and have particularly close ties to that institute's Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. We also participate in the Centre for Language Studies. A joint graduate school, the IMPRS in Language Sciences, links the Donders Institute, the CLS and the MPI.

Dingemanse finalist in 2008 AAA Photo Contest

Kããã (M. Dingemanse)

Dingemanse's photo 'Kããã' was one of 20 finalist pictures (selected out of 300) and appeared in the March issue of Anthropology News. Among these photographs, the judges found his images particularly strong, commenting that they conveyed his anthropological work in a visually engaging way that demonstrated clear photographic skill. 

'The title of my finalist picture is simply Kããã, to honour the beauty of the Siwu language, which provides a word that evokes exactly this way of looking attentively', says Dingemanse. Siwu is a language spoken in Ghana, Africa.
