課程概述

Psycholinguistics is an elective for third- and fourth-year students. This course offers an introduction to the exciting and fast-developing field of psycholinguistics—an integration of the fields of psychology and linguistics. Psycholinguistics mainly explores two questions: 1) What knowledge of language is needed for us to use language? and 2) What cognitive processes are involved in the ordinary use of language? Students in this course will expand their knowledge about how individuals comprehend, produce, and acquire language. They will be stimulated to synthesize and apply course content to second language teaching or other language-related work. Topics to be discussed in this course cover the fundamental aspects of psycholinguistics, including 1) linguistic principles, 2) psychological mechanism, 3) language comprehension, 4) language production and conversational interaction, 5) language acquisition, 6) language, culture, and cognition, and 7) biological foundations of language.
