Psychology of Communication (FYS)
PSYC 122F
Spring 2025
Section: 01  

Language is unique to human beings and a central component of human cognition. This class is designed to introduce students to the role of language in thought and the psychology that underlies how we use language to communicate, both as speakers and listeners. We will cover major themes in this area of study, including different levels of linguistic analysis, the psychology of communication processes, the relationship between speaking and thinking, and the role of efficiency in communicative behavior. The course will be largely discussion-based, centered on the regular readings of scholarly articles. There will be several short writing assignments and content-based assignments, as well as a longer final paper.
