Meeting Description:
TLS XII, the 12th annual meeting of the Texas Linguistics Society, will take place November 13-15, 2009 at the University of Texas at Austin. The meeting will consist of a general session, one parasession described below, and The 5th Workshop on Discourse Structure in honor of Carlota S. Smith.
General Session:
The General Session will cover all areas of linguistic interest. We encourage proposals from diverse theoretical frameworks and also welcome papers on language-related topics from disciplines such as anthropology, cognitive science, literature, neuroscience, and psychology.
Keynote Speaker:
Laurence Horn, Yale University
Colin Bannard, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology/University of Texas at Austin
Parasession:
'Approaches to Semantics and Pragmatics Based on Naturally Occurring Data, Elicitation, and Experimentation'
In all scientific disciplines, theory requires data for validation (or refutation) of hypotheses, and data requires theory for interpretation. In linguistics, 'data' has often been synonymous with `intuitions' or 'introspections.' Yet, there is much to gain by joining forces between theoretical fields of research and the tools of experimental psycholinguistics.
Keynote Speaker:
Elsi Kaiser, University of Southern California
The 5th Workshop on Discourse Structure in honor of Carlota S. Smith:
This workshop continues in the tradition of the previous workshops organized by Professor Smith, and will focus on two areas of research in which she did much pioneering work: the semantics of temporal location, tense, and aspect, and research into modes of discourse. Work from diverse methodological and theoretical perspectives which addresses syntactic, semantic, interface, pragmatic and discourse-level issues relating to temporal location, tense, aspectual categories, Aktionsart and other related areas in natural language will be featured. Talks for this workshop are by invitation, but abstracts dealing with this conference theme are welcome for the general session.
Invited Speakers:
Nicholas Asher, UT Austin and IRIT-CNRS
Jason Baldridge, UT Austin
David Beaver, UT Austin
Cleo Condoravdi, Xerox PARC and Stanford
Lauri Karttunen, Xerox PARC and Stanford
James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University
Mark Steedman, The University of Edinburgh
Bonnie Webber, The University of Edinburgh
Annie Zaenen, Xerox PARC and Stanford
Call for Papers:
TLS XII, the 12th Annual Meeting of the Texas Linguistics Society, is extending its deadline for the receipt of abstracts through August 24, 2009.
Abstracts for the General Session are welcome in any area of linguistics. Abstracts are also welcome for a parassesion entitled: ''Approaches to Semantics and Pragmatics Based on Naturally Occurring Data, Elicitation, and Experimentation .'' Papers exploring classic issues in theoretical semantics and pragmatics based on psycholinguistic experiments and on methods such as questionnaires, elicitation tests, corpus studies, follow-up studies, and interviews, as well as submissions that introduce new data from understudied languages, are invited for this parasession.
The 5th Workshop on Discourse Structure in honor of Carlota S. Smith, to take place concurrently with TLS XII, will focus on two areas of research in which Professor Smith did much pioneering work: the semantics of temporal location, tense, and aspect, and research into modes of discourse. Talks for this workshop are by invitation, but abstracts dealing with this conference theme are welcome for the general session.
Keynote Speakers:
Laurence Horn, Yale University
Elsi Kaiser, University of Southern California
Colin Bannard, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology/University of Texas at Austin
