Introduction to basic concepts and goals of mathematical linguistics with emphasis on implications for theories of natural languages. Investigates the properties of regular, context-free, and context-sensitive languages; categorical grammar and combinators and the properties of natural language in light of the results on formal grammars. Recommended prerequisite: CLPS 0030 (COGS 0410) and/or a background in basic theory and logic; familiarity with syntax is recommended.

This course is an in-depth study of intonation--the manipulation of pitch and length to signify sentence-level meaning--in English as well as in other languages. This course will have two components, which will overlap considerably. In the laboratory skills component, you will learn how to collect, transcribe, measure, and analyze intonational data in Praat (a program for acoustic analysis), while in the theoretical component, you will read about and test the claims of various theories of intonation. With these skills, you will conduct independent research over the course of the semester. The course will also cover the interface between intonation and syntax/semantics, including the realization of focus in prosody.

What is the relationship between how we think and how we speak? This course explores the concurrent development of children's linguistic and cognitive abilities. Topics include the relationship between word meanings and concepts, the structure of the mental lexicon, pragmatic development, and the Whorfian hypothesis (whether speakers of different languages think differently). Students will read and discuss empirical and theoretical articles, and complete a set of writing assignments and problem sets. Prerequisite: CLPS 0610 or equivalent, or permission of the instructor. Appropriate for students interested in developmental/cognitive psychology, linguistics, and applied fields such as speech-language pathology.

Research using animal models has informed and guided many of the recent advances in our understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying cognition. This seminar course will address topics related to animal models of human cognition. Students learn about how different aspects of the neural bases of cognition are modeled in animals by reviewing the primary research literature. The course is divided into three sections, each addressing one animal model in one cognitive domain. Selected papers will emphasize learning, memory, and attention, but may also address other aspects of cognition, for example decision-making, or cognitive impairment associated with neuropathology or aging. Prerequisite: CLPS 0040 (COGS 0720), CLPS 0400 (PSYC 0470), or NEUR 0010; and CLPS 1190 (PSYC 1030), CLPS 1191 (PSYC 1450), CLPS 1192 (PSYC 1200), or NEUR 1600; or instructor permission. Enrollment limited to 20. Not open to first year students.

How do we make decisions? This course considers the factors and mechanisms involved in motivated decision making, as informed by cognitive, neuroscientific, and computational modeling approaches. Readings will span a range of populations (e.g., healthy adults, adults with acquired brain damage, monkeys) and methods (e.g., behavioral, genetic, pharmacological and neuroimaging studies, electrophysiological recordings). Computational models will be prominently featured as a means for formalizing decision making theories across multiple levels of analysis, some focusing on high-level cognitive computations and others on neural mechanisms. Prerequisite: CLPS 0010, 0040, 1291, 1400, 1491, 1492, or NEUR 0010. Enrollment limited to 20. Not open to first year students.

Topics discussed in this course include: visual attention, awareness, emotional perception, and emotional memory. Classes will be structured around the discussion of current papers in the literature. Active participation in class is required, including the presentation of papers from the literature. Enrollment limited to 20.
