NeurolinguisticsⅡ
This course overviews how language is represented in the brain and discusses its implication for language education. Topics to be covered in this course include speech perception, reading, lexical processing, syntax, semantics, discourse and bilingual language processing. Major neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI, EEG/ERP, MEG and NIRS will be also introduced.
The three goals of this course is:
• Students can describe how language is represented in the brain.
• Students can understand basic neurological methods, and advantages and disadvantages of each method.
• Students can come up with a brief research proposal based on their own interests.
We will discuss the assigned articles.
Students are to summarize and present the related content.
Introduction
Historical overview of language and brain
Basic brain anatomy and function of human brain
Methods and techniques of neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG, MEG, NIRS)
Concept of experiment: How to design experiments
Field trip to neuroimaging lab at IDAC and fMRI scanner (We will determine the visit date based on the availability of the MRI room, so there may be a possibility of changes)
Speech and phonology
Visual word processing
Semantics
Morphology and Syntax
Sentence comprehension and production
Bilingual language processing
Second language acquisition
Learning and memory
Procedural and declarative memory
Language communication
1. Presentation（30%）: Students give a summary presentation on an assigned article.
2. Research proposal or paper（70%）: Choose 1 or 2
1) Students write a brief research proposal based on their own interest (introduction, purpose, method and expected results) (4 pages, double spaces)
2) Choose your topic and find relevant three peer-reviewed, published journal articles on cognitive science of language and write a short review paper (6 pages〜10 pages, double spaces). The paper should clearly summarize the main points and argument and should conclude your own stance as well as suggestions for future study.
* Proposaland paper should be formatted according to APA (6th ed.).
Assigned articles will be distributed weekly.

Course materials will be sent by email at least before one week.
Students are expected to read and review course materials before class in order to actively participate in discussion.
Details will be provided during the first class.
