NSF REU Site: The Language of Science and the Science of Language

This program is a 10-week paid summer research program for undergraduate students interested in language. The program trains students in hands-on skills in research methods and informal science learning. Students work on language science research projects investigating how language is used in a social context, how children learn to use language in context, and how language understanding is integrated with other aspects of cognition, such as attention and memory. They also learn how to explain complex scientific concepts to the general public in an engaging and accessible way.
