Overview:
The sessions will be structured into a lecture part and a part where
students review and discuss recent papers reporting research
results and their relevance to questions in the cognitive
neuroscience of language. Towards the end of the course, the state
of the field will be considered and an attempt will be made to define
research projects for future research.
