Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course we will explore the nature of the human word-store or 'mental lexicon'. We will be looking at morphology and processes of word-formation, at approaches to word meaning, at phonological and syntactic information in the lexicon, and at formulaic language and pre-fabricated chunks. Furthermore, we will discuss how people learn words (in a first and second language), and how they understand and use them. Finally, we will also acquaint ourselves with the dictionary on the shelf and try to relate it to the one in the head.
Assessment and permitted materials
Participants' own research projects will be based on further and more in-depth reading on selected topics and will be presented in class. Assessment is based on class participation, assignments, presentation and a final paper.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This course aims to familiarise students with the basics of doing and writing up research. Students will also gain specialised knowledge in the area of the (mental) lexicon.
Examination topics
Mix of lecture-style informative and interactive group-work sessions, student presentations & discussions
