Summary | A wide-ranging introduction to psycholinguistics, looking at the processes underpinning a broad spectrum of linguistic abilities. |
Course description |
This course introduces the intellectual discipline of psycholinguistics. Surveying central topics in normal adult language behaviour, from the recognition of speech sounds up to the identification of discourse moves, the course shows how theoretical models and experimental methods help us understand the swift, invisible processes that make us fluent users of language.
