This class provides an introduction to the study of morphology: the study of words and their internal parts. The course also engages with empirical research on how the brain processes morphological information with specific emphasis how bilinguals process morphological information. The goals of this course are to gain an understanding of how morphology functions in various languages and how we can use the scientific method to understand the nature of the lexicon. Students will learn about a variety of experimental methods to test hypotheses pertaining to how morphological structure is processed in the brain. Additionally, students will become more comfortable reading both theoretical and experimental works. This class is taught in English. Keywords: linguistics, morphology, mental lexicon
