NETWORDS – The European Network on Word Structure: Cross-disciplinary approaches to understanding word structure in the languages of Europe

Project duration: 5/2011–4/2015

Annotation: By bringing together experts of various research fields (from brain sciences and computing to cognition and linguistics) and of different theoretical inclinations, NetWordS aims at advancing the current awareness of theoretical, typological, psycholinguistic, computational and neurophysiological evidence on the structure and processing of words, with a view to promoting novel methods of research and assessment for grammar architecture and language physiology. NetWordS promotes development of interdisciplinary transnational scientific partnerships through short-visit grants, that are assigned yearly on the basis of open calls for short-term project proposals. Mature results are also expected to be disseminated and published through existing major international conferences, journals and edited books.
