Notes

【Course Objectives】

To have an overall understanding of how the brain processes language
To understand key concepts in psycholinguistics
To become familiar with the main areas of research in psycholinguistics
To understand the potential relevance and usefulness of psycholinguistic knowledge

【Course Contents】

This course introduces the field, basic concepts, and knowledge of psycholinguistics. It provides an exploration of how the brain processes language as well as ongoing research approaches to uncovering knowledge. Following the outline of Paul Warren’s book Introducing Psycholinguistics, which will be the main textbook for this course, the course explores different aspects of psycholinguistics in a way that will allow students to both understand and engage with the field. As this is an introductory course, it is suitable for any students who have an interest in language, psychology, or the connection between them. The course will be taught in English so English sufficient to participate in an English-based class with weekly readings in English is a necessary requirement. During the course, students will have opportunities to further explore areas they are interested in. Although the course will aim to cover much of the textbook content, as introduced by the teacher, students will only be asked to read specific sections of it.
