Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have a complete understanding. Analyse any communicative situation (real or depicted) in reference to the theoretical and methodological frameworks within various scientific approaches to language.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge and methodological approaches to understand and explain the normal/atypical/pathological functioning of individuals, groups or organisations, using any form of language.
• Analyse and model a communicative situation (individually or collectively) by critically selecting isolated theories and suitable methodological approaches.
• Speech Sciences : adopt a specialist approach. Master the concepts, techniques, methods, and devices specific to speech sciences so that they can be used in research practice.
• Master the basic concepts of psycholinguistics.
• Master the relationships between phonetics, phonology, psycholinguistics, and general linguistics.
• Identify areas of research and current research in speech sciences.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The course is devoted to the study of the cognitive processes involved in the perception, understanding and production of spoken language as well as the disorders associated with these three language tasks. An epistemological vision of the development and validation of models will be proposed. The examination of the possibilities of applying theoretical models to clinical practice will be discussed. A description of research methods specific to neuropsycholinguistics (lexical decision, priming, etc.) as well as current research trends and questions (connectionism, dual track, theories of language acquisition, brain imaging techniques) will be also offered.
