******************************************************** Linguistic theory, Speech and Language pathology, Speech therapy FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************************************** Padova 22th - 26th August 2000 The Department of Linguistics of the University of Padua is pleased to announce a conference on the relevance of Linguistics in Speech and Language Pathology and in Speech therapy. Our aim is to explore the interdisciplinary complexity of the interface language/cognition and evaluate the relevance of linguistic theory in the development of cognitive science; to discuss general problems posed by different analyses; to bring under scrutiny theoretical assumptions taken for granted in recent analyses, which may not be so obvious as they seem; to investigate how even apparently minimal choices in the description of phenomena may affect the form and complexity of the interface; and to stress the theoretical and methodological relevance of the tools developed in this area by focusing on empirical data of different languages. We encourage submissions of papers dealing with any aspect of Speech and language pathology in relation to any area of linguistics: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, language acquisition, language change, sign language, bilingualism, sociolinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive grammar, generative grammar, etc. We welcome submissions of proposals for PAPERS POSTERS Abstracts should be as specific as possible and include a statement of the author's topic or problem, approach and conclusions.
