The scope of this course is to reflect a wide range of topics considered as domains within psycholinguistic inquiry and issues involving natural language processing. Topics to be discussed in this class cover in detail the fundamental aspects of psycholinguistics, including neurolinguistics, speech perception, speech production, lexicon and meaning, sentence processing, sentence comprehension, conversational discourse, and first language acquisition (language development in children). Students in this class will in particular learn how to design an experiment by using E-Prime and how to construct a labeled and annotated corpus.
