Mission & Vision

At BAEL, we focus on language use in social contexts and the underlying cognitive processes involved. We work with naturally occurring text and talk as well as with experimental data.

Furthermore, we believe that students must be involved in this work and empowered to do research right from the start. After all, what is research but learning, that is, finding out about life?

Research projects at BAEL

We are working on a research section for this website that will offer information on the major projects BAEL is currently engaged in. As of now only an overview sketching the research projects is available, detailed descriptions are to follow soon.
