Psycholinguistics encompasses various fields closely related to cognitive linguistics, such as language perception, representation, recognition, comprehension, and acquisition. The scope of this discipline also includes language production and language disorders in specific contexts, such as second language acquisition, bilingual communities, language change, and the use of sign languages. Our research also falls under experimental linguistics, with a particular focus on computational and quantitative methods.
Our research group investigates the social, cultural, and psychological dimensions of human interaction through language, with a particular interest in regional, lesser-known, undocumented, and marginalized Indonesian languages. Through our work, we aim to produce accurate, measurable findings aligned with the evolution of language systems, as revealed in the Austronesian and Papuan languages of Indonesia, contributing meaningfully to both the field of linguistics and its wider community.
