Final Call for Papers
- -------------------


This is the final call for papers for The Neurological Basis of
Language Conference (July, 9-11, 2001, Groningen, The
Netherlands). The conference aims to present an overview of how
synthesis of aphasiological, computational, and neuroimaging
approaches has advanced our understanding of the neurological
basis of language.

Proceedings will be published in a special issue of Brain and
Language. All accepted abstracts will be included; selected
papers will appear as full articles after an additional review
process.

Program
- -----

Keynote speakers for this conference are:

* Angela Friederici
* Michael Gazzaniga
* David Plaut
* Cathy Price
* Laurie Stowe

Other papers and posters will be based on reviewed abstracts.
Deadline for abstract submission: November 1, 2000. This deadline is
relatively early, so that you can make travel plans on time!

Submission Guidelines
- -------------------

Paper or poster presentations can be submitted using the abstract
submission form on our website (http://www.let.rug.nl/nbl/abstract/).
Abstracts should not exceed 400 words (references not included).

Important Dates
- -------------

* Abstract Deadline: November 1, 2000
* Notification of Acceptance: January 10, 2001
* Early Registration Deadline: January 31, 2001
* Conference Dates: July 9-11, 2001

The submission and notification deadlines are well ahead of the
conference so that you will be able to make timely travel
arrangements. The conference is organized in conjunction with
the graduate summer school of the School of Behavioral and
Cognitive Neurosciences, University of Groningen. The summer
offers other advantages for the conference participants (no
teaching, adding in a bit of vacation, etc.), but making plans
ahead of time becomes necessary.

Who are the Organizers?
- ---------------------

The conference is being organized by the PIONIER Research Group on
The Neurological Basis of Language (Dept. of Linguistics, Faculty of
Arts, School of Behavioral and Cognitive Neurosciences, University of
Groningen) funded by the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research
(NWO) together with our colleagues from the School of Behavioral and
Cognitive Neurosciences.

We look forward to seeing you at our conference in the pleasant
environment of an old University town in the Northeast of the
Netherlands.
