Language & Mind examines the nature of human language from the perspective
of biolinguistics. The focus will be on the interplay of the three factors of
language design: genetic endowment (Universal Grammar), linguistic input
(linguistic experience) and general principles which are language independent. It
explores brain organization for language and the extent to which language
relates to general cognitive development. The course also considers how
language is acquired in both typical and unusual circumstances and how
language is forgotten.
