The course examines the linguistic phenomenon in the light of psychological factors that allow speakers to use and understand the language. Individual issues are examining experimental data from the regions of lexical recognition of the mental lexicon, understanding and processing of sentences as well as the relationship between language and memory. The course students will be able to describe how we process the language and store language information in relation to the human intellect.
At the end of the course, students will be able to: 1. implement the principles of linguistics to investigate language comprehension 2. compare and evaluate linguistic approaches based in experimental language processing results from normal populations.
