Meeting Description:
Texas Linguistics Society 12 (TLSXII) is a graduate-student run conference
in linguistics to be held over November 13-15 2009. The meeting's general
session covers all areas of linguistic interest. There are, in addition,
two concurrent events: one parasession and The 5th Workshop on Discourse
Structure in honor of Carlota S. Smith. The parasession has as its theme
'Approaches to Semantics and Pragmatics Based on Naturally Occurring Data,
Elicitation, and Experimentation.' The 5th Workshop on Discourse Structure
in honor of Carlota S. Smith 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.
General Session:
Keynote Speaker:
Laurence Horn, Yale University
Colin Bannard, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology/University of Texas at Austin
Parasession:
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:
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.
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
