Psycholinguistics - Period 5

This course is an introduction to psycholinguistics, an interdisciplinary scientific field that integrates concepts and techniques from modern linguistics, psychology and neuroscience. It investigates and describes the mental processes involved in the production and comprehension of language. Through lectures, assignments, and hands-on sessions you will find tools to approach and answer questions like: How do we produce, perceive and recognize spoken and written language? How do we acquire language(s)? How is linguistic knowledge represented, structured and stored in our mind and brain, and how is it used in the real-time processing of language?
