    • Winter 2006-2007 courses:
  • Introduction to Morphology. Open only to Bachelor's Linguistics (all areas); no other departments' students are allowed, and no Diplom students. This course will teach you everything you (n)ever wanted to know about morphology. After this course is over, you will never be able to look at a word again without thinking about it for five minutes or more (possibly a lifetime). Hours of fun for the whole family. An earlier version of the course was taught in Winter 2005, look there to get an idea of the kind of things I'll cover. There's also a sample final exam there.
  • Eyetracking research in sentence processing. This course will consist of a set of readings on the eyetracking literature, its relation to computational modeling, and issues regarding analysis of eyetracking data. Practical work with an eyetracking will be involved (if students want to do this).
