LING 225

How does our brain process, learn, and produce language? Does it differ across languages? How is our brain different from AI?  In this course, you will learn about the theoretical ideas, experimental techniques and findings, and major controversies in psycholinguistics. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify how concepts from psycholinguistics shape daily life, from learning a new language to building the latest AI.
