Course Description
This course focuses on the question of which cognitive, biological, and environmental factors are responsible for the acquisition of mother tongue knowledge of language and the ability to use this knowledge in a natural and creative manner in daily life. Several of these factors are studied, starting from the linguistic perspective that reveals the variable and invariant characteristics of sound structure, word and sentence structure and meaning. This basis leads to develop further insight into the distinction between domain-specific mechanisms for language acquisition and general cognitive skills in development. Characteristic of the chosen approach is the language-comparative perspective. The process of acquiring different languages is covered and students consider what that indicates about the interaction of the cognitive systems of knowledge involved in that process. Signs that characterize the incredible development children go through in all linguistic facets is discussed. From the first distinctive skills relative to sound patterns, through word and sentence structure, to dependencies and meaning relationships within sentences and in context .

Course Description
This course evaluates the evidence, theories, and practical issues associated with stuttering in early childhood and into teenage years and beyond. Factors that affect the onset and course of stuttering are examined from various perspectives. After preliminary description of the patterns of stuttering, how it is measured, who it affects, and what its symptoms are, lectures examine evidence that stuttering is associated with a range of biological and psychological factors. Particular emphasis is given to how language and motor demands affect stuttering. Theoretical accounts that attempt to integrate these findings are critically assessed. The final part of the course applies the knowledge to practical issues (treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis). In addition to giving a comprehensive coverage about stuttering, this course also has relevance to other speech-language disorders.
