This course is an introduction to natural language comprehension and production, with emphasis on native language processing by adults. Areas of psycholinguistics covered include speech perception, word recognition, lexical ambiguity, sentence production and comprehension, discourse processing, the role of memory in language processing, and reanalysis.
Introductions to phonology and syntax (e.g., Ling 421 & 422; concurrent enrollment is sufficient) or permission of the instructor. Most importantly, you should be prepared to read about two journal articles each week, understand the structure of each article, evaluate research critically, share your comments with the class, and develop a high-quality project of your own.
