Course content
|
The course explores how the linguistic discipline of Psycholinguistics addresses questions concerning the relationship between language and thought, the methods developed to investigate this relationship, and the theoretical models underlying these methods. In addition, students will gain a deeper understanding of the connections between psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics through the following thematic areas: I. General Prerequisites for Language Competence The mental lexicon; fundamental prerequisites for the production of grammatical structures; the universality hypothesis; representation and localization of linguistic structures. II. Language Production Pragmatic, semantic, and syntactic principles of language production and the models used to describe them. Spoken and written language. III. First Language Acquisition in Childhood Stages of language development; theories of language acquisition; childhood bilingualism. IV. Language Perception Basic models of language perception; research methods in language perception, including online and offline experimental approaches. V. Clinical Phenomena Research on different types of aphasia and the contribution of this research to the field of Psycholinguistics.

The lecture provides an introduction to the foundations of Psycholinguistics by presenting the subject matter of the discipline, its objectives, and research methods. The aim of the lecture is to demonstrate how the interaction between cognition and language can be investigated from the perspectives of psycholinguistics and cognitive linguistics. The lecture focuses on the following thematic areas: I. General prerequisites for language competence Mental lexicon; basic assumptions underlying the production of grammatical structures - the issues of universality, representation, and localisation of linguistic structures. II. Language production Pragmatic, semantic, and syntactic principles of language production and models describing these processes. Speaking and writing. III. Language acquisition in childhood Stages of language development, theories of language acquisition, childhood bilingualism. IV. Language perception Basic models of language perception; research methods in perception studies - online experiments versus offline experiments. V. Clinical phenomena Research on aphasia and the contribution of this research to the linguistic discipline of Psycholinguistics.
In this course, students will acquire a deeper understanding of the linguistic discipline of Psycholinguistics. They will learn how the relationship between language and thought can be investigated, which methods have been developed for such research, and the theoretical models on which these methods are based. In addition, students will become familiar with the connections between Psycholinguistics and Cognitive linguistics through the following thematic areas: I. General Prerequisites for Language Competence The mental lexicon; fundamental prerequisites for the production of grammatical structures; the universality hypothesis; representation and localization of linguistic structures. II. Language Production Pragmatic, semantic, and syntactic principles of language production and the models used to describe them. Spoken and written language. III. First Language Acquisition in Childhood Stages of language development; theories of language acquisition; childhood bilingualism. IV. Language Perception Basic models of language perception; research methods in language perception, including online and offline experimental approaches. V. Clinical Phenomena Research on different types of aphasia and the contribution of this research to the field of Psycholinguistics.
