This graduate level course provides an introductory overview of psycholinguistic work in language comprehension and production. The readings will cover well-known phenomena as well as the on-going debates in psycholinguistics that are of interest to those studying sentence processing and production from an experimental perspective. Readings will include influential and recent studies that shape the way that we approach open issues in psycholinguistics.

This graduate level course provides students with hands-on experience in experiment design, data collection, and data analysis. Students will learn the basic principles of experimental design as well as how to analyze data for a variety of commonly used experimental paradigms in language research. Skills acquired in this course will allow students to explore more advanced statistical and experimental methods in the future.

This undergraduate level course is a one-quarter introduction to the interdisciplinary field of psycholinguistics. Over the course of this quarter, students will examine a range of fundamental questions at the intersection of language and cognition: How do we manage to understand and produce language on the fly? How does our mental machinery shape natural language? How is language organized and implemented in the brain? Do different languages lead to different information processing strategies in production and comprehension, and if so, why? These questions, and related questions, form the bedrock of the field of psycholinguistics.
