The first part of the course will deal with theoretical issues (e.g., development and origin of language, research methods, biological bases of language, and the system of language processing) and the study of language within the cognitive science approach. The second part of the course will address the issues related to applicative research on language taking into account interdisciplinary perspectives aimed at the study of language as interactional practice (e.g., pragmatic and communicative aspects of language, language as joint activity).
