Course annotation
We will present several theoretical accounts of how words and their meanings are stored in human memory, and how they are accessed during the production and comprehension of speech. The main focus of the course will be the experimental evidence on word processing and its relation to the theory. Is lexical ambiguity a homogeneous phenomenon or should we study homonyms and polysemes separately? How meanings/senses are stored and accessed so effectively that we do not even realize the amount of ambiguity we deal with in everyday language processing? These are the questions we will discuss during this course.
