Angela D. Friederici Biography

Angela D. Friederici is one of the most popular and richest Professor who was born on February 3, 1952 in Cologne, Germany. Angela Friederici (born 1952 in Cologne, Germany) is a director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, and is an internationally recognized expert in neuropsychology and linguistics. She is the author of over 400 academic articles and book chapters, and has edited 15 books on linguistics, neuroscience, language and psychology.

Her 2016 book Language in the Brain was endorsed by Noam Chomsky, in which she stated her current position on the genetics of language study regarding the FOXP2 gene. On page 222, Friederici states: “It has been proposed that FOXP2 is a gene that plays a major role in speech and language because the mutation of this gene was identified in a family with speech and language problems., although thery were more speech-related rather than language problems as such. The view, however, has also been challenged for several reasons. One reason is that FOXP2 can also be found in non-human primates, mice, birds, and fish, thus in animals that do not speak.”
