We will cover some basic linguistics (word frequency, phonemes, sentence structure), but also how the individual person interacts with language. Topics will include the biological bases of language, speech production and perception, word recognition, sentence processing, reading, discourse, dyslexia, grammar and the lexicon. This course will cover current theories on these topics, along with ways to experimentally analyze language and psychology. **Text.** Harley, Trevor A.

Psychology and language textbooks have a bad tendency to be 1) boring, 2) expensive, and 3) there are very few of them to choose from. This textbook was chosen because of its focus on research, fairly cheap price, and easy availability on the internet. The textbook is recommended, but not required. You will get the information you need from research and the lecture notes. However, if you want the book the lecture notes were created from – you can use this textbook.
