The central goal of this course is to develop a understanding of language as an integral aspect of human behaviour. Although language is something we use every day, it is rarely the focus of our attention. The course will cover the basics of human language from the perspective of cognitive psychology including: the structure of language, speech production and speech comprehension. In particular the course will focus on how children learn to read, a particularly complex psycholinguistic task.
