What this may become
The UCLA Neurobiology of Language Research Group (NLRG) has been in existence for an indeterminate length of time pre-dating my matriculation to UCLA in 2002. It has largely been an informal group of researchers and students with a core membership consisting of John Schumann and the graduate students he is working with at the moment. This year we are considering applying for official status with the UCLA Graduate Student Association. If that happens, this blog may move to UCLA servers.
The motivation for creating this blog is three-fold.
1) I, personally, am procrastinating on my chapter of our latest work currently provocatively titled "The Interactional Instinct" which argues that language acquisition is the product of an interactional versus a language instinct.
2) Over the years with NLRG, we have worked on a number of interesting ideas, many of which I have forgotten. I thought this would be a good venue for keeping them around.
3) Finally, it would be good to get feedback from whomever comes across this site since we tend to really like our ideas and could use help picking them apart.
