In this course, we will deal with methods used in modern linguistics such as in formal grammar, (experimental) pragmatics, and psycholinguistics. We will consider a selection of research topics and questions at the interface of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, with a focus on the theoretical, probabilistic, and processing models that have been proposed to capture these phenomena.

The course will prepare you methodologically for writing your BA thesis in linguistics, independently of your choice of the subject matter.
