| Course Objectives: | This course focuses on neural mechanisms underlying the acquisition, use, comprehension, and production of language in the brain. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. read, critically assess and present research papers within the field of neurolinguistics 2. synthesize major topics and recent advances in the field of neurolinguistics 3. become familiar with major experimental techniques employed in neurolinguistics 4. write up their own experimental research proposal |
| It overviews language processing, with a focus on evidence from cognitive neuroscience measures, brain imaging techniques and issues in language and brain research, covering speech perception, word recognition, reading syntax, discourse processing, production, language acquisition, and bilingualism. |
