Cognitive and computer lingvistics

Main research directions

• Experimental study of the role of motor and corporal experience in language stimulation processing and the influence of perception on conceptualization in the mother and non-mother tongue.
• Cognitive analysis of grammar and vocabulary in Russian as mother and non-mother tongue (on different levels of bilingualism) including difficult formal and semantic structures.
• The influence of lexical and morphologic particularity of linguistic units on cognitive process of perception, conceptualization, and parametrization
• Cross-cultural study of idioethnic Russian singularity depending on perception and categorization and different types of bilingualism
• Study of age, gender and sociocultural distinctions and their influence on language origination and elaboration
• Math modeling of linguistic and cognitive processing of language stimulation
• Software elaboration accompanying psycholinguistic experiments
• Formation of databases for psycholinguistic experiments and linguistically divided parts of texts

Application fields

• Understanding interinfluence of linguistic and cognitive mechanisms on different stages of speech development, mother and non-mother tongue knowledge allows us to improve teaching of languages and to update communicative practice in significant fields including political, interethnic and professional communications.
• MMath modeling of linguistic and cognitive elaboration of language and speech is a basis for improving automatic processing of texts.
