| Omschrijving | This course offers an overview of the fields of research on language development across the lifespan, including first and second language acquisition and attrition of language skills. First, four theoretical models of language development are presented: Nativism and Universal Grammar, Optimality Theory, Usage-Based Learning and Dynamic Systems Theory. We then cover the following themes: first language acquisition at various stages (sounds, word learning, early syntax, complex syntax, semantics, pragmatics), atypical language development, bilingualism and second language acquisition, language and cognition, language and aging and language attrition. The course thus covers areas of current research interests of researchers in the Neurolinguistics and Language Development group of the Center for Linguistics and Cognition Groningen (CLCG). | ||||||||||||||||||||
