Psychology, Cambridge University, UK): The development and evolution of mental time travel. - Yosef Grodzinsky (McGill University, Canada): A brain map for syntax and semantics. Invited Symposium Organizers: - Asher Koriat (Dept of Psychology, University of Haifa, Israel): Metacognition - Peter Hagoort (FC Donders Institute/ Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen): Downward causation - Mike Martin (Dept of Philosophy, University College London, UK): Joint action - Corrado Sinigaglia (University of Milan, Italy): Embodied language The Society invites submitted papers, posters and symposia for this meeting. Previous topics covered at ESPP include spatial concepts, emotion, perception, simulation theory, attention, reference, problems of consciousness, early numerical cognition, infants' understanding of intentionality, memory and time, motor imagery, causal understanding, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics distinction, reasoning, vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought without language, externalism, connectionism, hypnosis, and the interpretation of neuropsychological results. For full details of electronic submission requirements, see the abstract submission form: http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/cgi-bin/espp/2008/psf.pl Submissions are refereed and selected on the basis of quality and relevance to psychologists, philosophers and linguists. All submissions must include an abstract of 250 words maximum, in addition to a 750 word summary (psychology and linguistics) or a short paper (philosophy). Potential convenors of symposium submissions should email the description and list of speakers directly to one of the programme chairs by 1 February 2008. We particularly welcome POSTER submissions. Posters will be displayed throughout the conference as well as at designated poster sessions. The first author of each accepted poster (and who does not also present a paper) will get free ESPP membership for 2008. Programme Chairs: Psychology: Liz Robinson (U.

A focus of the workshop is on lexical and knowledge repositories (e.g. controlled vocabularies, terminologies, ontologies, factual databases) and annotated corpora. Another focus is on design guidelines, standards for building resources, storage and exchange format, interoperability of resources and last, on exploring new directions for their dissemination.
