Abstract
The course is designed to give students fundamental knowledge of psycholinguistics – a linguistic science studying speech acquisition, comprehension and production processes in their interrelation with the language system. The theoretical part is delivered in the form of lectures and acquaints students with the major Russian and foreign approaches to psycholinguistics. As a result of the course, students will acquire systematic knowledge of the major psycholinguistic theories, become aware of the place of psycholinguistics within a broader scope of linguistic studies, and be able to carry out the psycholinguistic experiment for the purpose of analysing discourse.
Learning Objectives
- As a result of the course, students will acquire the following competencies: 1. knowledge of the major psycholinguistic theories; 2. awareness of the place of psycholinguistics within a broader scope of linguistic studies; 3. managing effective interaction within the intercultural context; 4. ability to carry out the linguistic experiment.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- • to give the students knowledge of major theories in psycholinguistics; • to help students master competencies, which will allow them to be successful in their professional interaction.
Assessment Elements
- ParticipationEach student in this course is expected to abide by the Higher School of Economics Academic Honesty Policy. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be the student's personal work. For this course, collaboration is allowed in the following instances: group discussion in class, group projects and presentations. Students are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts covered in lecture and the sections with other students. You can give "consulting" help to or receive "consulting" help from such students. However, this permissible cooperation should never involve one student having possession of a copy of all or part of work done by someone else, in the form of an e-mail, an e-mail attachment file, a diskette, or a hard copy. Should copying occur, both the student who copied work from another student and the student who gave material to be copied will automatically receive a zero for the assignment. Penalty for violation of this Policy can also be extended to include failure of the course and University disciplinary action. During examinations, every student must do his/her own work. Talking or discussing is not permitted during the examinations, nor may you compare papers, copy from others, or collaborate in any way. Any collaborative behavior during the examinations will result in failure of the exam, and may lead to failure of the course and University disciplinary action. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit must be the student's own work. If you present, as your own idea, any material copied, paraphrased, or extensively drawn upon, you are plagiarizing—unless you give full citations for your sources. Of course, you may make full use of ideas, arguments and information obtained from books etc. but you must make clear in a footnote whose work you are drawing on. Failure to cite your sources will result in a failing grade for that assignment. In cases of blatant and intentional misrepresentation, a student will receive a failing grade for the course and may face disciplinary action before the Dean and the Committee (if necessary), which, in extreme cases, may result in dismissal from the University.
