Learning outcomes
Students will be provided with an overview of the psycholinguistic research from mid-twentieth to nowadays. Particular attention will be paid to cognitive processes involved in language comprehension and production.
Course contents
Psycholinguistics (1) (LM) (6 CFU) will start on the 31 of January 2017 (III period). Lectures will be held at the Department of Philosophy and Communication, via Azzo Gardino 23, Aula B.

The first part of the course will deal with theoretical issues (e.g., development and origin of language, research methods, biological bases of language, and the system of language processing) and the study of language within the cognitive science approach. The second part of the course will address the issues related to applicative research on language taking into account interdisciplinary perspectives aimed at the study of language as interactional practice (e.g., pragmatic and communicative aspects of language, language as joint activity).
Psicolinguistica (1) (LM) (6 CFU) aims to provide the student with a theoretical and applicative overview of language in psychology and in particular according to the approach of cognitive psychology.
The course will cover topics related to the study of language from a psycholinguistic perspective (eg, development and origin of language, research methods, biological bases of language, language processing systems), and topics related to to applicative research on language taking into account interdisciplinary perspectives aimed at the study of language as interactional practice (e.g., pragmatic and communicative aspects of language, language as joint activity).
