Aims

- to familiarize the students with the neurolinguistic research by presenting them in detail the late works in the field.

Main themes

The course will be organised aroud some of the major questions in late neurolinguistics: phonological, lexical, semantic or syntaxic difficulties following a brain damage.
- to introduce to the research methods in neurolinguistics
- to show how these research complementarily contribute with the psycholinguistic research on normal subjects to the elucidation of the mental processes underlying the language behaviours. In this integrative approach, the originality and the specificity of the neuropsychology contributions will be explicitly underlined.
The contents of the course will be adjusted each year according to the themes tackled and to the advance of the research.
The clinical implications of the research presented can be tackled, but the main orientation of the course remains the research.
