Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar on psycholinguistics will focus on sentence processing, which examines the combinatorial processes that follow word identification (syntactic analysis, semantic interpretation and pragmatic processing). Special attention will be paid to parsing complexity and (local and global) ambiguities and their resolution, but also to language comprehension theories (architectural issues and models) and various methods used in this field. The discussion of the topics spanned by the selected literature listed below will be further detailed in class.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students are expected to do the readings before coming to class, come to class, participate actively, take turns in protocoling the sessions, make a presentation with a handout, and write a paper analyzing some topic discussed in the seminar and giving arguments for preferring a proposed analysis or construal to alternatives from the literature. Details will be discussed in class.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

To deepen, consolidate and advance students' knowledge on foundational matters in psycholinguistics, as well as to encourage students to engage in and carry out independent research.
