Linguistic Field(s): Linguistic Theories

Call Deadline: 20-Jan-2007

Meeting Description:

In recent years, the study of the interaction between different levels of linguistic knowledge has attracted increasing interest. In order to speak or understand a language we need to access different mechanisms whose interaction cannot be fully appreciated from a non-integrated approach. This workshop aims to bring together scholars who have been working on these issues providing cross-section, cutting-edge accounts of developments in the interfaces between phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The workshop will provide a forum for discussion of methods, theoretical perspectives, and accounts of the interaction between components of the language faculty.

Special Thematic Sessions:

We would like to encourage submission of papers and posters for two special sessions dealing with:(i) experimental approaches for the investigation of interfaces;(ii) implications of findings on interface issues in the applied linguistics field.

Invited Speakers (abstract selection committee):

Artemis Alexiadou, University of Stuttgart, StuttgartAndrea Gualmini, McGill University, MontrealCarlos Gussenhoven, Radbound University, NijmegenHeidi Harley, University of Arizona, TucsonKyle Johnson, University of Massachusetts, AmherstJamal Ouhalla, University College Dublin, DublinLisa Travis, McGill University, MontrealJohn Wilson, University of Ulster, Jordanstown

Requirement for abstract submission:

Abstracts can be up to two pages long including references, data and/orillustrations. Abstracts should be emailed no later than January 20, 2007 as an attachment (PDF format) to the following two addresses:r.folliulster.ac.uk
