Mind Meaning
AY2025/2026 Semester 1
In this course, you will be introduced to the uniqueness of human language as a communication system. You will examine how language is learnt and the way our mind stores meaning and organizes information. The topics you will cover include animal communication, biological foundation of human language, language acquisition, sign language and deaf studies, language impairment, word formation and the study of meaning. Your understanding of these concepts will be reinforced with examples taken from a wide range of languages and both cross linguistic and interdisciplinary perspectives from psychology, sociology, computer science and communication studies.
