Professor Bever is one of the pioneers in the broad field of Cognitive Science. He has made groundbreaking contributions to topics as diverse as theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, animal cognition, neuroscience, and the psychology of music. During his stay in Germany, he intends to further pursue his work on the neuropsychology of language processing and, in particular, on the the role of telicity in sentence parsing.
