This course introduces students to the cognitive processes involved in language and conversation. We will discuss aspects of human language comprehension, production, and development, across different domains of linguistic representation and language modalities. Students will learn what is known (and what is still unknown) about how language is processed, and about the methods that are used to address these questions.
Waitlist Procedures:
Students are admitted from the waitlist in order of registration, and overrides will be issued by Linguistics Department staff when spots in the class open.
