Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course presents an overview of the field of psycholinguistics, the study of the cognitive processes that underlie language behaviour. The course emphasizes the integrated nature of language processing and it highlights the cognitive and social dimensions of psycholinguistics, the core language activities of speaking, listening, reading and writing, and the extent to which the characteristics of language processing are influenced by differences among languages and individual differences in education and language experience. The course also presents the student with the conceptual background necessary to evaluate experimental psycholinguistic research.
No prior background in psycholinguistics is assumed.

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.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

No prior background in psycholinguistics is assumed.

Knowledge and Skills:
