Biography

Maria Piñango is a professor at Yale University, specializing in Lexical and Conceptual Semantics. Her research focuses on the integration of linguistic information in real-time comprehension, particularly the integration of semantic and syntactic information. She explores differences in the time-course of activation and finds parallels in cortical realization and distribution related to these processes. Additionally, her work characterizes language deficits that result from brain damage and investigates the interaction between linguistic processes and cognitive capacities such as memory. Her linguistic research spans multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese.
