Special Session.

GENERAL SESSION
The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest. We
encourage proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks and also

Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Literature, Neuroscience and
Psychology.

PARASESSION: ''Conceptual Structure and Cognition in Grammatical
Theory''
The Parasession invites submissions addressing the following question:
to what extent and in what ways can findings from cognitive science
and psychology be integrated into formalisms for linguistic analysis?
Papers representing all views and approaches are sought. Those that
address both experimental data and formal theoretical models are
particularly welcomed.
 
Invited Speakers:
Melissa Bowerman, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics
Adele Goldberg, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
