Títol: "From Grice to the brain: electrophysiological and clinical perspectives on the pragmatics of language", a càrrec de la Professora Valentina Bambini (University School for Advanced Studies IUSS, Pavia)
Dia: dimarts 13 de juliol
Hora: 15.30 pm
15:30 Some words from the Coordinators of the 4 MA Programs
15:40 Online Talk
Resum:
Gricean pragmatics contributed to define a model of non-literal language understanding
based on inferences about the speaker’s meaning. What is the psychological and neural
reality of these processes? The talk will try to answer this question by presenting a series of
studies on the electrophysiology of metaphor comprehension. The talk will also illustrate
the disruption of the mechanisms supporting non-literal language comprehension in
pathological conditions, with special reference to schizophrenia and concrete thinking.
