Description

The course gives an introductory orientation about methods for measuring and analysing language behaviour in real time, that is, the activities of speaking, listening, writing, and language and gestures as they unfold millisecond by millisecond. A central part of the course is constituted by exercises in formulating empirically testable hypotheses and interpreting quantitative data from eyetracking, keystroke-logging, bodytracking, speech activity, and EEG/ERP data. The course also addresses questions concerning to what extent a given linguistic theory or theory of a linguistic phenomenon is empirically testable.
