We investigate real-world, natural language use: we&#8217;ve worked on everything from cross-linguistic video game language use to under-resourced and endangered languages. Computation allows us to break into the key questions about human language, from how language is acquired, to how it is cognitively structured, to how language works within human society.<\/p>\n<p>ShLAC Lab is housed in the Linguistics Department at USC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n      \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--contact-details \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--contact-details\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n\n          <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Contact Us\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        \n        \n      <\/div>\n    \n    \n      <div class=\"contacts-container\">\n\n        \n                      <div class=\"contact-card\">\n\n                              <h3>ShLAC Lab PI<\/h3>\n              \n                                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>Stephanie Shih<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n              \n              \n                              <div class=\"f--email\">\n                  <a href=\"mailto:shihs@usc.edu\">shihs@usc.edu<\/a>\n                <\/div>\n              \n            <\/div>\n                    \n                      <div class=\"contact-card\">\n\n              \n              \n              \n              \n            <\/div>\n                    \n                      <div class=\"contact-card\">\n\n              \n              \n              \n              \n            <\/div>\n                    \n      <\/div>\n\n        \n     \n    \n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":37,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ShLAC Lab Home - Language &amp;
