Thematic
session 1: Phonology and phonetics: their relations and demarcations
The
Phonology and phonetics: their relations and demarcation session, organized in
celebration of the 50th anniversary of The Sound Pattern of English, will look into
the nature of the relationship between phonetics and phonology and the status of
phonetics in the grammar, including the following questions:
- Is there
universal phonetics or is phonetics language-specific?
- How to bridge the gap
between the discrete and the continuous?
- Do phonological categories have
phonetic substance?
- What is the nature of the phonetics-phonology interface?
- Is phonetics about computation or interpretation?
- To what extent
phonology determines phonetics?
- To what extent phonetics determines phonology?
Thematic session 2: Theoretical linguistics within cognitive science:
current research directions
There is no doubt that attempts to make direct
connections between linguistic concepts and work done in fields such as cognitive
neuroscience, computational modeling, and evolutionary and comparative biology are
important and potentially fruitful, but they also face a number of conceptual and
methodological issues. To turn the spotlight on the bidirectional connection between
linguistic theory and cognitive science and the possibilities of progress that can
be made based on collaborative work, the Theoretical linguistics within cognitive
science: current research directions session will focus on the following issues:
- The contributions which linguistics can make to the development of other
fields within cognitive science
- The ways in which non-linguistic enterprises
can inform linguistic theory
- Theoretical considerations
- Methodological
issues
- Concrete cases of fruitful interaction
- Working proposals for
research interaction.
The keynote and participant presentations related to
this theme will be complemented by a round table discussion on Saturday, October 13,
2018.
Call for Papers:
Abstracts on any topic from all areas of
theoretical linguistics, comparative linguistics, psycholinguistics,
neurolinguistics, and language acquisition will be considered for presentation in
the main session of the conference, but we also encourage submissions relating to
two special thematic sessions: Phonology and phonetics: their relations and
demarcations and Theoretical linguistics within cognitive science: current research
directions.
