LIN 522 - Psycholinguistics of Sign Languages

Institution:

Gallaudet University

Subject:

Description:

Deaf and hearing people around the world acquire, produce and perceive sign languages. This course takes an in-depth look at how they acquire, produce and perceive sign languages. Psycholinguistics generally covers three domains: acquisition, use (perception and production) and brain studies. This course focuses on perception and production, as well as brain studies (aka neurolinguistics). With respect to production, we will examine studies that focus on "slips of the hands", both spontaneous and induced. With respect t o perception, we will look at both online and offline cases. For brain studies, we will discuss both behavioral and imaging studies. Prerequisites: Undergraduate students: LIN 101, 263, 301, 302; graduate students: permission of the instructor
