for his linguistics research…

…during speech, people know the grammatical data about a noun approximately 40 milliseconds earlier than the first syllable of the word. Another 120 milliseconds have elapsed before they have formed the complete sound of the word so that they can speak it.

Cool! Thanks, mav.
Under Hagoort's supervision, researchers devised a method that shows at which moment the brain collects information about a word. ...
he has investigated language disorders among patients with brain damage. Hagoort demonstrated that damaged brains find other routes to make language comprehension possible.


I'd be really interested to hear what he has to say about language development; look at this: The referees expect that in the future Hagoort will throw new light on the neural basis of cognitive processes such as those of language and language processing.
