Course Catalog Description
An overview of topics and theories in language acquisition: early development of speech perception and production, word learning, generalizing linguistic structure, and differences between first language acquisition, second language acquisition, and bilingualism. We will also compare different theoretical approaches, and address the classic "nature vs. nurture" question by examining both traditional generativist approaches and more recent usage based models.

This class will be held remotely and synchronously. This holds true for both the lecture and the discussion sections. No Time Conflict enrollment is allowed.
****Due to a system glitch in the enrollment software campus uses, cross-listed classes in the Psychology department will be handled differently moving forward. Instead of the regular Phase I class setup of open seats (reserved for Psych majors) and a waitlist (for all other students), ALL seats in Phase I will be on the waitlist.
At the end of Phase I, Psychology and Cognitive Science students will be prioritized and enrolled into the class.
As in other semesters, Psychology will make additional seats available in Phase II for all students. If you make it on the waitlist (Phase I or II), there is a very good chance you will get into the class barring conflicts, holds, and unit cap maximums. show less
