Prosodic and Gestural Studies Group GrEP-G (UPF)

The Prosodic and Gestural Studies Group (GrEP-G) is part of the Department of Translation and Language Sciences at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. 

The aim of the group is to understand the role of prosody and co-speech gestures in human communication from a crosslinguistic, developmental, and cognitive perspective. Three important strands of this research include: (a) to incorporate this knowledge into semantic models of language that model the interface areas with other components; (b) to empirically investigate how humans process prosodic and gestural patterns in combination with speech; and (c) to investigate the cognitive and developmental benefits of prosody and gesture in different areas, such as first and second language acquisition, as well as communication training for language impaired and non-impaired populations.
