April 12: Psycholinguistics
Osnova sekce
-
This week, based on the syllabus, we were supposed to focus on language acquisition, which is part of psycholinguistics. Instead, I have decided to look at psycholinguistics per se first, and from a slightly different perspective than what I planned. Your task for this week is very simple: Read carefully the attached paper. It is very short (five pages), but it might be a bit of a challenge, and you might need to go through it more than once. The paper relies a lot on psycholinguistic research that you should get somehow acquainted with. There is no assignment for this week, and neither are there any control questions on Moodle or anything else, but throughout the rest of the semester, I will expect you to be familiar with this paper, so please, do read it, and try to think about how the paper squares with the various approaches to morphology that we discussed in the first half of the semester.
Next week (April 19), you will again find instructions on Moodle, and on April 26, I would like us to meet on Zoom.
