<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Keystroke Language (and Text) Production:
perspectives from cognitive and functional linguistics</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Supported by the Centre for Language
and Communication Research and the LinC Research Network</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cardiff University, Cardiff, Wales</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">23-24 May 2011</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The use of keystroke logging as a methodology
in language research is not a new field of study since the first Computer
Keystroke Logging conference was held at Umeå University in Sweden in 2002.
However to date this area of research has primarily focussed on written
composition and translation studies. The KEY 2011 workshop and conference
intends to broaden this perspective by extending the contributions keystroke
logging can make to language production generally, including spontaneous
language such as chat messaging. Its theme is to explore functional and
cognitive perspectives on the use of keystroke logging in language research
where the focus of interest is on the dynamic process of production rather
than on the static product of language production.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Keynote Speakers</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Professor Kristyan Spelman Miller (University
of Winchester)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dr Mick O’Donnell (Universidad Autónoma
de Madrid and Wagsoft Software)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Call for papers</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Papers are invited on the general theme
of the conference, dealing with the use of keystroke logging in linguistic
and language-related research. Presentations will be 20 minutes with 10
minutes discussion time. Papers which present work in progress or
that focus on software development and methodology are also welcome.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Although we will consider all contributions
that relate to the main theme in general, we especially encourage papers
that explore: </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Evidence of cognitive processing in
electronic language production</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Corpora and the study of electronically
produced language</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Language or text as dynamic process
(rather than static product)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Human-Computer Interaction as related
to language and keyboard competence</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Linguistic competence (including translation
competence)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Descriptive work that enhances our understanding
of electronically produced language</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Functional accounts of language production
(including manual and cognitive errors)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Methodological and/or ethical issues
in the use of keystroke logging software</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Abstracts</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">An abstract of approximately 400 words
should be submitted electronically at the following webpage: </font><a href=http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/KEY2011><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/KEY2011</font></a><font size=2 face="sans-serif">.
This is a free service offered by the Linguist List.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In the abstract, please state, where
appropriate, research questions, approach, method, data and (expected)
results. Abstracts will be refereed anonymously by members of the
programme committee.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The deadline for submissions is 16 March
2011.</font>
<br>
