Event Details:

Dr. Nikole Patson discusses language, a tool we use proficiently every day yet seldom pause to consider how it works. A remarkable feature of language is that speakers (or writers) can leave parts unsaid and our minds automatically fill the gaps.

This free, virtual program is part of our lifelong learning series Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner and, in part, by the Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.  

This event is in the "Adults" group.
