The Nantes Linguistics Laboratory (LLING), created in 2004, is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 6310) of the CNRS and Nantes Université. Its research aims to define the human capacity known as “language” by modeling the representations and mechanisms involved in the production, comprehension, and perception of language. The laboratory is currently directed by Hamida Demirdache (Director) and Marta Donazzan (Deputy Director).
