Course description

The techniques of EEG/ERP (electroencephalogram and event-related potentials) are widely used in the field of psycholinguistics. They are increasingly used to bear on theory selection in linguistics as well.  The aim of this course is twofold: teaching students about the connection between brain physiology and linguistics so that they can design their own experiments and analyse the collected data, and giving students useful tools to read and interpret scientific papers in the realm of neurolinguistics. Whatever the research interest of the student, neurolinguistics is an ever-growing field with more and more studies published each month, therefore, it is useful for PhD students in linguistics and philology to have the necessary tools to understand scientific papers of this kind. We seek to provide PhD students an insight into the basic principles of brain electrophysiology and imaging techniques with a special focus on EEG (electroencephalogram) and ERPs (event-related potentials). The course will provide both theoretical and practical information that is essential for a better scientific understanding of language.

Outcome/objective

- To give the participant a theoretical background to the use of online methods for studying writing processes

- To give the participant a short overview of on what theoretical foundations online methods are used, and how these may differ depending on theoretical background

– To give the participant a short overview of general findings in the area

– To give the participant practical hands on-experience on keystroke logging (using two well established programs in the area), including both recording and analysing practices

– To let the participant discuss and methodologically evaluate different on-line methods, such as keystroke logging, think aloud protocols, triple and dual tasks, and retrospective interviews.

– To introduce the participant to a wide range of possibilities to explore writin process data from different perspectives and prepare them for further analyses

– To give the participand methodological training in designing a proposal for investigating writing processes using online methods.

Course Description

The course offers an introduction to second and third language learning in the Scandinavian context. 

Focus will be on the grammatical development of second and third languages both from a descriptive and a theoretical point of view. Factors that are commonly considered to influence that development, e.g., the structural similarity between source and target language or individual factors, such as the effects of the age of acquisition will be discussed.

Traditionally, in second language acquisition research, no particular interest has been shown for the role of other background languages than the learners mother tongue or first language (L1). Recently, the study of the L3 has developed into a rapidly growing field and the potential influence of previously acquired or learned languages in the initial stages is currently hotly debated. What drives and conditions L3 development is also a matter in focus. 

The following issues will be covered:

• Theoretical foundations of L2 and L3 research

• The relationship between multi- and bilingualism, L2, L3 and additional language learning

• Generative approaches to L2 and L3 acquisition

• Neurolinguistics in L2 and L3 learning

• Multilingualism, second and third language learning in the Scandinavian context​: educational situation and research profiles: L2 and L3 studies where Scandinavian languages are involved either as background or as target language

ECTS and requirements

PhD students get 5 ECTS if they complete the following requirements:

• Do readings before and during the course, as assigned by the instructors

• Attend all lectures

• Submit one research question in writing after each lecture.

• Write a 2000-word essay on an assigned topic following the lecture
