Description

This course explores current knowledge on the linguistic, cognitive, and neural architecture of language. It emphasizes an experimental and interdisciplinary approach, drawing on psycholinguistics, neuroscience, linguistics, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Students will learn how neuroscientific methods are applied to language research and how interdisciplinary integration contributes to contemporary models of language processing.
The module is divided into two parts:

  • Block 1 (5 sessions): Lectures combining ex-cathedra teaching with interactive problem-solving.
  • Block 2 (5 sessions): Critical reading and discussion of scientific articles, fostering both individual and group analytical skills.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will:

  • Acquire a solid understanding of current knowledge in the cognitive science of language.
  • Be able to design and justify new approaches or experimental protocols to address open questions and major debates on the (neuro)cognitive architecture of language.

Requirements

Active participation and class attendance are expected. Additional readings will be provided to support and extend course content.
