LING 181P: Psycholinguistics
The comprehension and production of the language of even the simplest and most commonplace language is a highly complex, almost miraculous, process. Psycholinguistics is an introduction to the study of how humans learn, represent, comprehend, and produce language. Topics covered in the course will include visual and auditory recognition of words, sentence comprehension, reading, sentence production, language acquisition, the neural representation of language, bilingualism, and language disorders. Students will also investigate how different production and comprehension processes interact while looking at how language is processed and represented and how to apply this to the analysis of data.
