Course Objective

Course Description

This course will mainly focus on a set of representations that are computed in the course of cognitive performance and language processing. It introduces the mutual fertilization of general linguistics for many of its theoretical constructs and provides external evidence that aphasiology is liable to provide including the current developments of linguistic theory. It will also introduce the methodologies on how to collect/organize data from speech errors and aphasic speech and how to run experimental elicited tasks in order to reduce ambiguities.
