Language and Mind

An introduction to the study of language and mind. We begin with foundational questions on why it is important to understand the psychology of language or how language is represented in the mind and how it is organized in the brain. How does the child acquire language, and what are the ways that adults acquire languages beyond those of childhood? Since bi-multilingualism is a common world-wide phenomenon, it is important to understand how multiple languages are handled in the mind/brain.
