Q:<\/strong> Alice, how would you describe the topic of your doctoral thesis in three sentences to your grandmother?\nA:<\/strong> My thesis looks at how people make inferences and how the preceding context affects this. I’ve been looking at how deriving an inference influences subsequent interpretations and whether this also influences a speaker’s choice to make use of inferences.
\nQ:<\/strong> What led you to apply for an internship in our program ?
\nA:<\/strong> I was really keen to learn EEG and this internship offered the perfect opportunity. I also wanted to work in a different lab so the XPrag.de internship program was ideal.
\nQ:<\/strong> Your internship has been running for a while now. How do you like it? Does it meet your expectations?
\nA:<\/strong> I love it. I am having a great time and learning so much. It has exceeded my expectations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
