Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The aim of the course is to provide the students of linguistics with a conceptual framework about the structure of some major language disturbances, and their relevance to understand the organization of language. Though it is not a practical course in clinical linguistics, it shall also discuss some of the methods used in patholinguistics in their basic layout and theoretical foundations.
The course shall consist of three basic teaching packages: brain and language (aphasia and neurological language disorders); developmental linguistic pathology (SLI, Williams, Down, Asperger syndromes); conversational psychopathology (psychotic talk, breakups of schizophrenic conversation, the issue of relevance and phoricity).

Weekly distance lectures with PPTs uploaded, accompanied by reading discussions one week in each package. Lectures shall be distance organized. Reading discussions if possible, shall be organized in person in Vienna.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

a final written exam of 50 questions about the entire semester shall be administered, in a one hour testing time. Students who would volunteer for minor tasks (3 of them) during the course time shall het 15 points towards their final assessment
