Cognitive Processes in Copying a Text

Coordinating Institution: University of
Stavanger

Dates: 03-Nov-2014 - 07-Nov-2014
Location: Stavanger, Norway
Focus: The focus of the course is on exploring
cognitive processes involved in copying written
text. It is informed by research on how
language users comprehend and produce oral or
written text, as well as on how the combination
of language comprehension and production is
reflected in the task of copying written
text.
Minimum Education Level: MA
Special Qualifications:
The course is open to students enrolled in a
doctoral programme, in Norway or elsewhere, but
the number of places is limited; we reserve the
right to reject applicants.
Description:
We will discuss insights into production and
comprehension behaviour gained from
psycholinguistic experimentation using modern
tools of investigation, such as eye tracking
and key logging. We will then address the
question of what cognitive constraints might
operate on a person as they copy written text.
We will do so by drawing on existing work in
historical linguistics/philology which has
explored the nature of linguistic variation
found in scribal copies of medieval texts. In
particular, our focus will be on how large a
segment of text is being held in working memory
and recalled from it in the process of copying,
and whether the size of this segment may be
affected by the linguistic features of the text
being copied and/or the non-linguistic features
of the copying situation. The course will thus
offer new interdisciplinary ways of linking
historical linguistics/philology and
psycholinguistic research.
