Psycholinguistics

Course content

Language processing takes place in the brain, and we cannot see what is happening inside the skull. However, psycholinguistics offers a way to induce the processes that take place in our mind when we produce and comprehend language. In this course, we will learn about psy-cholinguistic methods and models that explain how we use and understand words and sen-tences. We will read and discuss original research papers and get some hands-on experience with in-class experiments, exploring the psychological reality of linguistic structure with respect to sounds, words, sentences and discourse.
