Our research group, headed by Dr. Albert Costa, forms part of the Department of Technology of the Universitat de Pompeu Fabra.

We are interested in the cognitive and brain basis of the speech production process, with a special emphasis on bilingual speech production.

More in particular our research can be divided in the following areas of investigation:

1. Lexical selection and language control in bilingualism
2. Effects of bilingualism on attentional control and executive functioning
3. The naming disadvantage related to bilingualism
4. Alignment in bilingual dialogue
5. Lexical representations in the brain: functional and neural perspectives
6. The time-course of monolingual and bilingual speech production

Our investigation includes behavioural methodologies as well as physiological measurements
