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.

Remembering our colleague Werner Deutsch

November 4, 2010

For ten years, from 1978 to 1988, Werner was a researcher at the MPI for Psycholinguistics. During that time he had a major influence on shaping MPI's work on language acquisition, and his involvement continued after he left the institute. He was a brilliant researcher, not least because, both his life and in his work, he made it clear that science is only one of a variety of ways in which to understand the world.

He will be missed.
