Biography

Maria Piñango is a professor at Yale University specializing in Lexical and Conceptual Semantics. She has a PhD from Brandeis University, obtained in 1999. Her research interests encompass the integration of linguistic information and comprehension, with a focus on how semantic and syntactic information merge in real time. She investigates the differences in the time-course of activation and seeks to uncover parallels in the cortical realization of these processes. Additionally, Piñango is interested in characterizing language deficits that result from brain damage, as well as the interaction between linguistic processes and cognitive capacities such as memory.
