CFP: Cognition and Language Workshop @ Santa Barbara, CA

Date: 14-Apr-2012 - 14-Apr-2012
Web Site: http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu/claw/call.html

The Cognition and Language Workshop (CLaW) invites abstracts for talks involving the relation between language and cognition. We welcome talks that investigate language as a cognitive activity as well as talks investigating cognition as a dimension of language. Talks may involve any area of linguistics - phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, discourse, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, computational linguistics, and others. We especially encourage empirical data-driven perspectives, as well as interdisciplinary talks connecting linguistics to other disciplines within cognitive science.

CLaW is organized by SCUL (Studying the Cognitive Underpinnings of Language), an interdisciplinary research group at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Call for Papers:

Talks will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts should describe the methodology used, as well as the conclusions. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words (not including references), and should not contain the author's name or any other identifying information. Abstracts should be in PDF or ODT (OpenOffice/OpenDocument) format. For co-authored papers, please indicate who plans to present the paper.

To submit an abstract, email your PDF or ODT file to claw.ucsbgmail.com. Please include the following information in the body of the email (not in the attached file): (1) your name; (2) affiliation; (3) mailing address; (4) phone number; (5) email address; (6) title of your paper.

Deadline for receipt of abstracts: Monday, February 13, 2012
