What is a comprehensive exam?
My comps questions
Minor 1
Much of linguistic and psycholinguistic
theorizing has relied on a
differentiation between speakers’
competence versus their performance.
Is this a valid distinction and how
does it impact theories of language
processing or development?
Minor 2
Discuss the acquisition of inflectional
and derivational morphology in normally
developing children.
Major
There is evidence suggesting that
individuals who have suffered either
LHD or RHD may exhibit impairments
in the processing of lexically
ambiguous words. Discuss the evidence
in light of models of the role of
the two cerebral hemispheres in
lexical processing.
