Topics in Multilingual Representation and Processing - Single View

This advanced Masters course takes an in-depth look at selected current research topics in the areas of multilingual grammatical representation and processing, focusing on studies of sentence-level phenomena in bi- or multilingual adults. The course will also examine methodological issues and consider the advantages and disadvantages of different experimental research methods and designs. Topics to be covered include: the relationship between language processing and acquisition, individual differences in multilingual representation and processing, prediction in non-native language processing, heritage language speakers and attrition, and multilingual production and codeswitching.

The course language is English.

This course builds on my courses "Second Language Acquisition" (BM4) and "Development of Language Processing" (VM4/I), and prior completion of these or equivalent courses is recommended. The course is not suitable for first-semester students or for students without any background in language acquisition and processing.
