Psycho- and Neurolinguistic Perspectives on Multilingualism
The course aims to provide advanced theoretical knowledge of multilingualism from a psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and neurocognitive perspective—its central questions, methods, and findings.
Some of the most important issues include the role of age of acquisition in language acquisition, cross-linguistic influence, individual differences, and the relationship between language and cognition. These topics are examined in light of current theoretical models of multilingual language representation and processing.
