The HULC lab is a cooperation of researchers based at the Institute for German as a Foreign Language Philology, the Institute for Translation and Interpreting and the Center for Iberoamerica at Heidelberg University, Germany.
The HULC lab was founded in September 2011. Our facilities include two eye tracking labs, a language laboratory, and an RT lab. We are partners with the Core facility for Neuroscience of self-regulation (CNSR).
Members of the HULC lab are currently carrying out MA, PhD, Postdoctoral or ‘Habilitation’ research.
Featured project of the week
Argument structure, the argument vs. adjunct distinction, and thematic roles are most relevant for the encoding of events, but there is little agreement on the definition of these concepts. The project addresses these issues from a psycholinguistic perspective, focusing on the intersection of conceptualisation and formulation in sentence production. Structural priming experiments help to dissociate the predictions based on a strictly incremental model of sentence production from predictions made by a lexicalist account.
