DCAL consists of a multidisciplinary team of
linguists, psychologists and neuroscientists. It is the largest research centre in this field in Europe. We examine language, cognition
and the brain from the unique perspective of deafness and deaf communication.
This encourages a broader scientific perspective which leads to novel
discoveries about language and cognition that could not be achieved from
working with hearing people alone. We achieve this by bringing together a range
of complementary scientific approaches and a diverse group of talented D/deaf
and hearing scientists, support staff and students.
Our research aims are:
- To
determine how communication (signed, spoken, written) and cognition are shaped by deafness
- To
use this information to further educational and clinical practice and to create
societal impact
