    Psychology of Language

    I. Course Overview
    One of the biggest mysteries of human cognition is our ability to produce and comprehend language – something we normally do very quickly and
    seemingly effortlessly. But we have only to look at machines, or to try to learn a new language, to see evidence of how amazing this feat really is. This
    course provides an introduction to theory and empirical research on fundamental questions in psycholinguistics, including: How do we acquire language? Do
    animals have language too? How do we get from the incredibly noisy speech signal to individual words to meaning? When we want to express a meaning,
    how do we choose which words and structures to produce? What does it mean to know a word? Is language processing modular or interactive? How is
    language represented in the brain? What can language disorders teach us about normal language development and processing? What insights from traditional
    psycholinguistics add to our understanding of dialogue, and how does dialogue change our understanding of psycholinguistic theory?

    II. Course Materials


    Textbook (required): Harley, T. 2007. The Psychology of Language: From Data to Theory (3rd Edition). New York: Psychology Press.

    Book (recommended): Altmann, Gerry T. M. (1997). The ascent of Babel: An exploration of language, mind and understanding. Oxford.
    Website: http://crl.ucsd.edu/courses/psyc145/
    I will sometimes post additional readings on the course website.

    III. Evaluation

    There will be two midterms and final exam. Each will be worth 35 points, thereby constituting 35% (each) of your final grade. The final will be worth 30 points
    and will be completely multiple choice. The midterms will be multiple choice plus two of three short-answers, OR multiple choice plus a previous assignment
    that you have opted to do instead of the two in-class shortanswers (to be discussed in class).
