The course aims to illustrate the main methodologies of investigation of experimental linguistics and, specifically, the diagnostics with which it is possible to carry out experiments on language processing. In particular, the course will cover the following contents: • Neurocognitive basis of human language • Realization of experimental stimuli for the processing of linguistic phenomena (at different levels of analysis, with a focus on pragmatic aspects) • Techniques for investigating language processing (offline methodologies, such as questionnaires, naturalness/acceptability judgments, etc., and online, eye-tracking, brain imaging, etc.) • Description and analysis of the functional meanings of the electrophysiological components of language processing.
