معرفی
James Brand is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology specializing in psycholinguistics and cognitive science. He holds a PhD from Lancaster University (2017) and focuses on topics such as linguistic relativity, bilingualism, and socio-semantics. His research employs methodologies like self-paced reading experiments, principal component analysis, and corpus linguistics.
Research Interests:
- Linguistic relativity effects in grammatical/conceptual gender
- Agreement attraction phenomena in syntax processing
- Vowel variation and acoustic-phonetic analysis
- Socio-semantics of lexical meaning across languages
- Word learning mechanisms in children and adults
Collaborations include institutions in the Czech Republic (Prague's Faculty of Arts) and New Zealand, reflecting his cross-linguistic research focus. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with empirical methods, often using computational tools for data analysis.
Recent articles (2023-2025) emphasize bilingual cognition, Czech-English syntactic comparisons, and the role of amplitude in vowel production. His research has been published in journals like Language and Cognition, Bilingualism, and Glossa Psycholinguistics.
