Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We will introduce some of the basic concepts of modern linguistics like word structure, morphology, the mental lexicon, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and phonology of spoken and signed languages. After a general overview of each of those subfields, we will discuss one or two problems of each subfield in more detail and then take a look at the impact of those problems for issues in language acquisition, language pathology and neurolinguistic studies. At the same time, we will compare these problems with cognitive phenomena outside language like vision, thereby addressing the important question which phenomena are language-specific and which are general from a cognitive view.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Examination topics

We will use an electronic platform where the slides and additional literature will be provided plus a catalogue of about 60 questions from which the six questions for the final exam will be selected. We will not use a textbook for this course but recommend as an additional reading Daniela Isac & Charles Reiss: I-Language. An Introduction to Linguistics as Cognitive Science. Oxford University Press 2008.
