This course provides an introduction to how discourse is structured, primarily through discourse coherence and discourse relations, and also to how discourse is processed by humans. Discourse is defined as the language above the level of sentence and also the use of language in context. In this course, we will learn about a wide range of phenomena included in the study of discourse structure and discourse processing from linguistic and psycholinguistic points of view. Students will read original and recent work in these areas. They will also examine different forms of discourse and analyze important aspects of discourse processing. The students will be evaluated based on their performance in a number of activities, such as writing summaries and reviews, and writing (and presenting) a short term-paper. |
