Stan van der Burght is an assistant professor within the Language and Cognition track in Experimental Linguistics. He studies sentence processing and production, adopting a neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic approach. He takes a special interest in prosody (variations in intonation, loudness, and duration during speaking), so he tries to find answers to questions such as: How do various prosodic cues influence sentence processing? How do listeners differ in the way they perceive prosodic cues and how do speakers differ in the way they produce them? And how do conversation partners use and interpret prosody to convey what are particularly relevant parts of their message? To find answers to these questions, he uses both behavioural and neuroimaging methods. His research is performed in collaboration with the Psychology of Language department of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen.
