Description and contextualization of the subject
This course is aimed at students who are especially interested in language processing mechanisms.During this course we will mostly focus on the time-course of language comprehension processes in monolingual and bilingual populations. More precisely, we will present some recent works exploring morphosyntactic processing. We will also show which factors second language processing depends on (i.e. age of acquisition, proficiency level, linguistic distance...etc.). During the course the students will learn about the main experimental methods used in order to investigate those topics.

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation
This evaluation system is designed for face-to-face teaching and will be adapted in the event that we enter a new state of health emergency and have to go to virtual teaching. In this case, the updated version of the program and the new evaluation system will be posted in the Egela virtual classroom.Ebaluazio sistema hau aurrez-aurreko eskoletarako dago pentsatua eta egokitu egingo da larrialdi egoera berririk sortuko balitz. Kasu horretan, irakasleak EGELAn zintzilikatuko du irakasgaiaren programa eguneratua eta ebaluazio sistema berria.
Este sistema de evaluación está diseñado para la docencia presencial y será adaptada en el caso de que entremos en un nuevo estado de emergencia sanitaria y tengamos que pasar a docencia virtual. En tal caso, se colgará en el aula virtual Egela la versión actualizada del programa y el nuevo sistema de evaluación.
