Course Description
This course will review the top accomplishments of neurolinguistics in the past decade or so. It will discuss recent claims, and corresponding experimental results (of studies that measure brain activity of some sort), that have direct relevance to central issues (and debates) in syntax, semantics, language processing, and functional neuroanatomy. Hopefully, the course will provide an explicit, up-to-date, neurolinguistic perspective on hotly debated issues (i.e., the analysis of intra-sentential dependency relations, NPI licensing, the type of ROIs that should be used in neurolinguistic analyses, and more).
Area Tags: Neurolinguistics, Syntax, Semantics, Psycholinguistics, Cognitive Science
(Session 2) Monday/Thursday 1:30pm – 2:50pm
Location: ILC S331
Instructor: Yosef Grodzinsky
Yosef Grodzinsky is Professor and Director of the Neurolinguistics Lab at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Research (ELSC) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, and a Research Scientist at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. He studies the neural substrate for syntactic and semantic processes in healthy and diseased human brains.
