LING 6060 - Language and the Brain

Meets with LING 5060, though graduate students are expected to do additional work and perform at a graduate level. Emphasis on how language is organized in the brain with an examination of the linguistic and neuroanatomical underpinnings of how language can systematically break down in a variety of individuals. Addition focus on how "normal" individuals process language and information, and on mechanisms for motivation and memory that subtend second language acquisition.
