Inhoud

This course offers students an introduction into psycho- and neurolinguistics, with special attention for applications in the domains of linguistic and literary studies, applied linguistics, and artificial intelligence. The course covers the basic mental processes involved in each of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). The language skills are discussed from the four most widely used approaches in the study of language and the brain: 1) the behavioural approach (psycholinguistics); 2) neuroimaging (neuroscience of language); 3) the clinical approach (neurolinguistics); and 4) the computational approach.
