Language Across the Lifespan

Undergraduate

presents an overview of the major milestones and characteristics in language development and use from infancy to later adulthood. Students will think critically about language issues such as those related to bi-/multilingualism, neurodiversity, and hearing loss. The link between language and other areas of cognition (such as theory of mind) will also be explored. Whenever possible, examples from languages other than English will be used.
