Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides an introduction to the field of neurolinguistics. We begin with an overview and history of neurolinguistics and then discuss current models and frameworks in the field, methods of neurolinguistic inquiry, and types of deficits associated with linguistically defined levels of language. We also discuss the neurolinguistics of reading and writing, as well as language representation in the brains of bilinguals. Finally, we discuss more general issues of brain evolution and the multimodality of communication.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Knowledge:
Students will acquire knowledge of the types of impairments in language functioning that result from damage to the brain and the manner in which patterns of impairment form syndromes. They will gain familiarity with the major types of aphasia and with the key historical developments and trends in neurolinguistics.
Skills:
Students will aquire skills in the identification of brain structures relevant to language, in the analysis of language disorders caused by damage to the brain, and in the analysis of patterns of online language performance.
Insight:
Our goal is to gain insight into the key issues and challanges in neurolinguistics, its methods, and the phenomena that are studied in the field. Of particular importance will be the implications of language impairment for theories of unimpaired language representation and processing in the brain.
