This course addresses the major issues involved in first-language acquisition.

Readings in Embodied Cognition
PSYC 45750
In this seminar we will be reading and discussing current research related to the interplay of cognition and action – an emerging research perspective loosely defined as embodied cognition. A central tenant of embodied cognition is that cognitive processes are deeply rooted in the body’s interactions with the world.

What Counts as Data
PSYC 46000 / HUDV 40901
This course will explore what counts as data in the disciplines of psychology, anthropology and linguistics. Each of these disciplines has its own rules and conventions about what can be taken as evidence for or against an hypothesis, including how that evidence is acquired. Our goal will be to explore these rules and conventions with respect to one or two seminal problems that have attracted researchers from all three disciplines.
