A lecture course taught by a single instructor. Language is a deceptively complex computational system. In this course, we will explore how linguistic structure is represented and processed in the brain, and how the computational machinery that generates language intersects with different cognitive capacities and brain structures. We will focus on a few major themes: neural evidence of linguistic structures and structure-building; major brain regions associated with language and competing models of their functions; and the underlying cognitive resources necessary for producing and comprehending language.
