SUMMARY:Jamie Reilly (Temple University) - The Psycho- and Neurolinguistics of C
	ursing in American English
DESCRIPTION:The Psycho- and Neurolinguistics of Cursing in American Engl
	ish\n\nCursing represents a powerful subset of natural language. Large i
	ndividual differences exist in the propensity to curse\, and pragmatic r
	ules that govern cursing are largely unwritten. Many neurological disord
	ers (e.g.\, aphasia\, Tourette syndrome\, traumatic brain injury) are ch
	aracterized by excessive and/ or uncontrolled cursing. Yet\, we have onl
	y a very limited understanding of how taboo words are represented in the
	 human brain\, and why cursing behaviors emerge in the context of focal 
	brain pathologies. In this talk\, I will cover recent research from our 
	laboratory examining the psycholinguistics of cursing in American Englis
	h. We will first discuss unique properties of cursing\, followed by two 
	experiments examining the structure of individual taboo words and the im
	plicit rules that govern curse compounding (e.g.\, ass + hat = asshat). 
	In a third experiment\, I will present the results of a noninvasive brai
	n stimulation experiment where we administered cathodal electrical stimu
	lation to inhibit the right frontal lobe while neurotypical adults curse
	d. This experiment will lay the groundwork for a novel treatment approac
	h aimed at reducing uncontrolled cursing in aphasia and traumatic brain 
	injury.&nbsp\;\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/jami
