Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is planned to present an overview and in-depth discussion of a special field in psycholinguistics, namely language production. After an introductory session we read a groundbreaking classic in the field, namely Willem Levelts' book Speaking: From intention to articulation. The aim is to develop and train the student's understanding of the core processes involved in language production and to discuss controversial issues in this field. Students will train this ability by weekly reading tasks that involve chapters from Levelt's book and individual controversial research papers, obligatory oral presentations, active participation and a written term paper on a topic related to the seminar.

Assessment and permitted materials

Student progress will be evaluated by three measures:
1. Term paper (~4000 words). The term paper will enable the student to explore a topic that was discussed in the seminar in greater depth. Students will be free to write term papers in either German or English. (50%)
2. active participation including weekly reading assignments (20%)
3. in class presentation of a paper/topic in one of the seminar sessions (30%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

No prior background in psycholinguistics is assumed. Solid knowledge of English is necessary.

Reading list
