Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course students:
1. should have a firm grasp of the methodology used to investigate more and less subconscious/implicit processes underlying language perception and production
2. should be able to discuss (and, more importantly, reconcile) the claims made by opposing camps as to whether language is an autonomous system of cognition or a highly interactive one
3. will become sensitive to issues of language use and how these inform linguistic theory
4. will become familiar with methodology of research in language production and comprehension
5. should be more confident in studying and discussing original research articles that investigate models of language production and perception
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work autonomously
- Appreciate diversity and multiculturality
- Be critical and self-critical
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course offers an introduction to the architectures and mechanisms behind our ability to speak and understand language. Basic models of written and spoken language processing as well as some language production models are presented. Topics discussed include visual and spoken word recognition, sentence processing mainly focusing on the effects of context on lexical and structural ambiguity resolution, and oral and written language production and comprehension conditioned at the language interfaces. Within the same context, modular and interactive views of language production and comprehension will be distinguished as well as advantages and disadvantages of viewing the syntactic component as operating independently of conceptual and phonological factors. Finally, special attention will be given to how models of language production and comprehension may be informed by language processing patterns in disordered populations, including children with neurodevelopmental language disorders and adults with acquired language disorders.
