In this theory paper they propose a unified framework showing how abstract language monitoring and concrete speech motor control are intertwined.

In case you missed it: our latest report explores a growing crisis in universities.

In many regions, students risk losing access to vital humanities, social science and arts subjects. Swipe to see our key findings and recommendations.
Key finding 1: Cold spots have emerged in the North, South West and East of England, as well as parts of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Key finding 1: Cold spots have emerged in the North, South West and East of England, as well as parts of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Key finding 2: The biggest loss of provision is at lower-tariff levels. This is concerning given strong links between attainment and socioeconomic disadvantage. Key finding 3: Languages, Linguistics, Anthropology, Classics and Theology are among the hardest hit. If trends continue, English, History, Drama and Celtic studies – including Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh – could follow. As we await the post-16 White Paper, we’re calling for: - An urgent review of higher education funding - Regulators to monitor provision with an ‘at-risk’ regional register and subject premium - Government to help universities collaborate effectively with clearer guidance about competition law
