Overview
Examination of the processes of perceiving and producing speech, including categorical perception, speech development, and their relation to linguistic theory. Includes a research component.
Psycholinguistics is the study of how our mind and body actually produce and process language, including recognising words, comprehending the meaning of sentences, translating an idea from the mind to motions of the body, and holding a conversation. This course will particularly focus on multilingualism and variation in language, such as with many Global Englishes. Psycholinguistics can often have an applied angle, helping us understand language learning, computational language models, and clinical applications of linguistics.
