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. <br><div><br></div><div>CLaW is organized by <span>SCUL</span> (Studying the Cognitive Underpinnings of
Language), an interdisciplinary research group at the University of
California, Santa Barbara. </div></div><div><div><p>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
