Inferential ability and understanding what speaker intends in social contexts are vital for learning and adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, I will present my on-going studies and elaborate how EEGs\/ERPs and other non-invasive cognitive neuroscience methods are used to understand language use and social cognition. I will highlight recent evidence showing how a speaker communicates a meaning (e.g. confidence, trustworthiness) and emotion in the vocal and verbal cues, and the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying how a listener decodes the speaker meaning. I will also demonstrate how social context (e.g. social status) facilitates the decoding of communicative intentions (such as over-\/im-politeness).<\/p>\n<p>I will show evidence on how social inference is shaped by culture and by listener\u2019s sex and personal characteristics such as interpersonal sensitivity and trait anxiety. In particular, I will focus on how trait empathy plays a role in deriving pragmatic implicature and resolving the pragmatic failure\/ambiguity. I\u2019ll close my talk by proposing future directions of the cognitive neuroscience studies on language use in social communication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0You are welcome to bring your lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date:\u00a0Feb. 16, 2017: \u00a01pm \u2013 2:30pm Dunton Tower 2203 Speaker:\u00a0Dr. Xiaoming (Jason) Jiang, Neuropragmatics and Emotion lab in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders in the faculty of Medicine, McGill University.
