SUMMARY:You rock! Understanding words with many meanings - Lucy MacGregor

CONTACT:David Gershlick
DESCRIPTION:I am interested in how we are able to successfully understand 
 each other during conversation\, in particular when so many of the words w
 e use have multiple meanings. How do listeners determine which meaning of 
 an ambiguous word like rock is intended by a speaker? I will talk about re
 search in which I have used recordings of brain activity (mainly magneto- 
 and electro-encephalography) and behavioural measures to explore the neuro
 -cognitive mechanisms that support successful speech comprehension in the 
 face of such semantic ambiguity.
