Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course focuses on how words are represented and processed in the mind. Traditionally, this field has been known as - the mental lexicon - and has served as the meeting ground for linguists, psychologists and neurologists interested in the fundamental nature of language ability. More recent developments have underlined the practical implications of this branch of psycholinguistics as well as the role that mental lexicon research plays in bridging research on language and cognition. This course will provide an overview of the known facts and current mysteries concerning the nature of word knowledge in the mind and brain. We will address matters of word meaning, word structure, lexical representation, and the nature of the multilingual lexicon.
Assessment and permitted materials
Student progress will be evaluated through written examinations and short term paper. Examinations will include a variety of assessment types (e.g., terminology, short essay, short answer). The short term paper will enable the student to explore a topic of his/her choice in greater depth. Students will be free to write term papers in either German or English.

Prerequisites:
No prior background in psycholinguistics or the mental lexicon is assumed for this course. Basic knowledge of morphology is helpful, but not required.Knowledge and Skills:
The goal of this course is to provide students with:
a) an overview of the key issues in the processing of simple and
complex words across languages and populations.
b) an understanding of the methodological issues in the field of
lexical processing.
c) an introduction to the use of established and new behavioural
methods to conduct psycholinguistic experiments that target the
fundamental nature of lexical ability.
