Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
- If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
The course studies the connections between the structure of the central nervous system and linguistic and communicative functions in relation to other cognitive functions such as sight. Basic concepts in neuroanatomy are discussed and the neuro-psychological correlatives of various linguistic components such as phonetics/phonology, morphology, semantics/pragmatics and syntax are examined. Models of neurocognitive representations and the analysis of speech and writing are introduced, as are the experimental methods which are used to examine these various types of linguistic representations and linguistic analyses. Areas covered include the evolution of language, the asymmetrical function of the hemispheres of the brain, and the affects of brain injury such as aphasia and dementia on the neurophysiological processing of language.
