(**apologies for any cross-postings**)


The University of Colorado is offering a fantastic opportunity for
people interested in Psycholinguistics to be brought up to date with
the latest developments and trends in 4 short weeks.

This is part of the Linguistic Institute 2011 in Boulder (see below),
which offers an unusually wide range of Psycholinguistics courses by
renowned researchers. Course offerings cover a range of topics:
      - language acquisition (infant speech perception, information
structure development, learnability theory, sign language development,
the emergence of phonology, etc.);
     - adult language processing (neural mechanisms of language
comprehension, grammatical ‘illusions’, studying language processing
using eye-tracking, processing phonological structure and phonetic
variation, etc.);
     - computational psycholinguistics and information-theoretic
approaches;
     - the creation of new languages (development of pidgins and
creoles).

In addition to providing a comprehensive introduction to the relevant
concepts and scientific literature, many of the courses (as well as
several Institute workshops) provide experience with state-of-the-art
tools-of-the-trade.

These courses are open to anyone, and you can register as an affiliate
if you do not need transfer credit.  The courses meet twice a week, so
it would be possible to take a full load of 4 courses by attending
just two days a week.

It is an extraordinary networking opportunity, with small classes and
lots of institute-wide events.

=============================================================================
The Linguistic Institute 2011 will take place July 7-August 2 on the
campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, with major
sponsorship by the Linguistic Society of America and the university.
Courses are being taught by over 100 outstanding international
visiting faculty members. In addition, more than 20 affiliated
workshops and conference meetings will be held during Institute 2011.

The theme of the 2011 Linguistic Institute is Language in the World,
and the focus is on interdisciplinary, empirically based approaches to
language. In keeping with this theme, a large suite of courses target
language documentation and description, as well as processes of
language endangerment and appropriate responses. The Institute not
only continues a vital tradition in the field but also showcases the
outstanding research and teaching activities at the University of
Colorado at Boulder. The 79 one-credit hour courses include many
courses on sociolinguistics, field methods, typology, syntactic/
semantic/pragmatic theory, cognitive science and computational
linguistics.

Online registration is open through July 5th at the Institute website:
https://verbs.colorado.edu/LSA2011/index.html.

CAMPUS HOUSING RESERVATIONS CAN BE MADE THROUGH JUNE 13, 2011.
