Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Students will be assessed on the basis of a written analysis of a text to be conducted after the classes end and on their degree of active and relevant participation in classwork.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The aim of this course is to provide insight into cross-fertilization between models of grammar and models of the speaker(-hearer). The approach will be functionalist in the sense that we will be trying to determine the extent to which the circumstances under which people communicate (with restrictions on their time, rivalry for the floor in conversations, brains that think ahead, etc.) co-determine the structure of our clauses and sentences. Students will be made aware of major proposals in this field of study and of their implications for the study of English.

In recent decades, there has been a rapprochement between the study of grammar in linguistics and the study of language production in psycholinguistics. Linguists, often claiming that their models have psychological reality and/or that they are modelling the language user, have supplied hypotheses for psychologists of language to test. Psycholinguists, in turn, have made discoveries about language production that some linguists have found relevant for their own work. The course will provide a general introduction to research in language production, followed by a deeper treatment of (a) incrementality, the gradual build-up of utterances through time, coupled to the observation that people often start talking before they have fully planned what they are going to say, (b) structural priming, the effect of previous lexical items and syntactic structures on the ongoing utterance, and (c) prediction or advance planning, the look-forward aspect of language production. These themes will bring us into ever closer contact with the context of speech and with the orientation to interactants in dialogue (rather than the individual speaker) that has characterized the work of the last fifteen years or so. The course will end with a consideration of the current integration of both linguistics and language psychology in the embrace of cognitive science.
