  • My empirical and theoretical work focuses mainly on how people’s knowledge of word meanings is implemented in their brains. I am especially interested in the relationships between semantics, grammar, perception, and action, and in cross-linguistic similarities and differences in conceptual representation. I have published over 60 articles and chapters, and also wrote an introductory textbook called "Cognitive neuroscience of language" (1st edition 2015, 2nd edition 2022). In addition, a few years ago I wrote a more specialized book called "Concepts in the brain: the view from cross-linguistic diversity" (2019), and I’m currently writing another book called "The neuroscience of word meaning."

  1. So richly deserved. Larry is one of the most creative and nicest people I have known. We met (45 years ago???) as grad students and he was already a thought leader and someone everyone wanted to talk to. I am so glad to see him honored in this way, just sorry I did not know before so I could contribute.
