Bio:

Gerard A.M. Kempen (1943) is professor of cognitive psychology at Leiden University since 1992 (emeritus-professor since October 2008), and Research Associate of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen since 1999. From 1976 to 1992 he was professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Nijmegen, where he had received his PhD in 1970. His scientific work concerns the grammatical aspects of human sentence production and comprehension. He is studying these topics through a combination of linguistic, experimental-psychological and computational methods. His contributions include the lemma-lexeme distinction, the concept of incrementality in language production, the neurocognitive model of parsing called Unification-Space (with Theo Vosse), and the (neuro)cognitively motivated Performance Grammar formalism (with Koenraad De Smedt and Karin Harbusch). Since 1980 he initiated and supervised various theoretical and applied research projects dealing with the computational treatment of Dutch, among other things, for computer-supported grammar instruction.
