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.

Exhibition on work of Paul de Swaaf

The MPI for Psycholinguistics displays several works of art of Paul de Swaaf (1934-2008), a well-known Dutch sculptor who started his artistic career as illustrator at the Radboud University Nijmegen. Most remarkable are his nine busts in the MPI entrance hall, representing the founding 'pioneers' of psycholinguistics. This coming month, art gallery Unita in Beek-Ubbergen will devote a general exhibition on De Swaaf's work, to be opened by MPI director Willem Levelt on Sunday, September 26 at 15:00 pm.
