Meeting Description:
The 35th annual meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society will take place at
the University of California, Berkeley, on February 14-16, 2009. The meeting
will consist of a General Session, a Parasession, and a Special Session.
General Session
The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest. Presentations
will draw from diverse theoretical frameworks and will feature papers on
language-related topics from disciplines such as anthropology, cognitive
science, literature, neuroscience, and psychology.
Invited Speakers
- William Croft, University of New Mexico
- William Hanks, University of California, Berkeley
Parasession: Negation
The Parasession will include papers on negation from various theoretical
perspectives (cognitive, historical, typological, generative, functional, etc.)
and in relation to any linguistic sub-domain (semantic, pragmatic, syntactic,
morpho-phonological, lexical). Submissions that introduce new data from
understudied languages are especially welcome.
Invited Speakers
- Laurence Horn, Yale University
- William Ladusaw, University of California, Santa Cruz
Special Session: Non-speech Modalities
The Special Session will explore non-speech linguistic modalities such as sign
language and gesture, whether independently or in relation to spoken language.
Papers will include those on grammatical topics as well as those dealing with
issues of language acquisition, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and
cognitive science. Papers with historical and typological perspectives are also
encouraged.
Invited Speakers
- Ulrike Zeshan, University of Central Lancashire
- Adam Kendon, University of Pennsylvania
