Language and Cognitive Processes
PSYC 223 FA

This course is a survey of research issues in psycholinguistics, emphasizing language as part of a broader system of human cognition and action. We examine the psychological processes by which people plan, produce, understand and remember speech sounds, words, sentences, paragraphs and larger stretches of discourse; the influence of contextual and pragmatic factors on speaking and understanding; the social functions of language; how children learn language; and the relation between different systems of language, such as human and animal communication.
