Linguistics in Psycholinguistics & Neurolinguistics

Linguistics in Psycholinguistics & Neurolinguistics

June 17-25 2002
University of the Basque Country

Colin Phillips & Leticia Pablos, University of Maryland (USA)

Overview

This course has two main goals, which will be pursued in parallel.

(i) to explore the integration of detailed, cross-linguistic models of language structure into theories of language acquisition and processing, including theories of how language is processed in the brain.
(ii) to provide participants with a hands-on introduction to the experimental tools used in these areas of linguistics, through a series of hands-on lab exercises.

The course will focus on areas in which there is a growing interaction between work in linguistic theory and laboratory-based research in language acquisition and processing, and neurolinguistics.
