Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics

The Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics is an institute of the German Max Planck Society. Their mission is to undertake basic research into the psychological,social and biological foundations of language. The goal is to understand how their minds and brains process language, how language interacts with other aspects of mind, and how we can learn languages of quite different types. The institute is situated on the campus of the Radboud University. They participate in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and have particularly close ties to that institute's Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. They also participate in the Centre for Language Studies. A joint graduate school, the IMPRS in Language Sciences, links the Donders Institute, the CLS and the MPI.
