Psycholinguistic Course for Graduate Students
Why I was chosen five years ago to teach psycholinguistic course is that I DO NOT have the expertise in the new discipline. I was, and still am, interested in both linguistics and psychology, though. Download Course Syllabus Topic One: Central Issues and Historical Development
Central issues Download PPT Slideshow
Observational Approach and Experimental Approach Successive measurement and simultaneous measruement Topic Three: Mental LexiconBy Mental lexicon, we mean the way that words are organized in our mind. Several models of mental lexicon have been proposed, like search model, logogen model, cohort model, spreading activation model and hierarchical model. The central idea underlying these models is that words in our mind is associated in one way or the other. Topic Four: Language Comprehension
In this session, we are going to discuss psycholingusitic models of word understanding, sentence understanding, and discourse understanding. This handout, (requiring international access, you can try a proxy), prepared by Doug Arnold at University of Essex, is a concise introduction to human sentence processing. This site(requiring international access, you can try a proxy)contains a good number of downloadable research papers on language comprehension, including sentence parsing and anaphoric resolution. You can download PPT slideshow for this session here Matthew J. Maxler et al. 2002. Processing Subject and Object Relatives: Evidence from Eye Movement. Journal of Memory and Language. Download the paper here. Download the students' presentation on this paper HERE. Topic Five Language Production
Many people think that language production is just the reverse of langauge comprehension. This is, however, an oversimplification of a more complicated psycholinguistic process. In this session, we will discuss the stages invovled in langauge production, as is revealed by evidence from speech errors, hesitations, pauses and self-repairs. Some well-known models of speech production are also compared and discussed. Please download the PPT version of the lecture notes HERE. Topic Six Language and BrainIn this section, we are going to discuss the biological foundation of language and investigate the relationship between language and brain. We are going to learn some basics of the brain and the typical symptoms of language disorder and aphasia.You can download the PPT version of this lecture HERE. I found the following sites are particularly helpful Topic Seven language and thought
The interplay between language and thought has intrigued linguists and philosophers for centuries. The best known example of exploring this issue is Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. We are going to discuss two versions of this hypothesis: linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity. Please download the lecture notes for this session HERE. |
