Results for LINGUIST207A

In this course we will explore speech perception, attention, memory, categorization, and social weighting from a dynamic systems perspective. We will consider language and social variation through the lens of Grossberg¿s Adaptive Resonance Theory, focusing on interactions of at least two areas that are typically investigated independently of one another. Throughout the quarter we will learn about foundational ideas and methods in these areas. Each student will build an annotated bibliography on a topic of interest, present articles outside of the main text, and prepare a proposed study, with time to pursue the project the following quarter.
