Book description: Researchers in the fields of linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience have long been interested in the development of a universal theory of how humans process language. Many believe that the creation of such a theory could significantly assist in the understanding of how the human brain works. For this reason, much research has been performed on sentence processing in English and other Indo-European languages. Yet many East Asian languages have received relatively little attention. This book is the first of its kind to discuss how native speakers of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean process sentences in their native tongues. Although these three languages share similar characteristics, this volume acknowledges and discusses specific issues that are unique to each language. The contributing authors investigate the effects of homophones on lexical ambiguity in Chinese, the impact of word order in Japanese, and the impact of prosody on structural ambiguity in Korean. The findings presented have important implications for sentence processing and cognitive processing models, and by extension contribute toward the construction of a universal theory of human language processing. ------------------------- From funkadmn at RUF.RICE.EDU Tue Jun 11 16:33:59 2002 From: funkadmn at RUF.RICE.EDU (Funknet List Admin) Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 11:33:59 -0500 Subject: call for papers: GURT 2003 (fwd) Message-ID: FYI ========================================= Conference Announcement & Call for Papers GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ROUNDTABLE ON LANGUAGES AND LINGUISTICS February 15, 16 & 17, 2003 (President Day's Weekend) Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. Language in Use: Cognitive and Discourse Perspectives on Language and Language Learning GURT 2003 will bring together research from various perspectives that emphasizes ways in which cognitive factors and discourse factors shape properties of language and of language learning In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the importance of studying language and language learning in its context of use. Researchers who take a cognitive approach (broadly defined) and those who take a discourse perspective have argued, often independently of each other, that linguistic structure cannot be fully understood if isolated from the study of how language is employed to create meaning. Moreover, an increasing number of researchers involved in both first and second language learning research have argued that language learning is guided in crucial ways by the contexts of meaningful communication in which language use is embedded. Overlapping strands of investigation pursued by these researchers include: 1) the role of psychological plausibility in developing theories of language and language learning; 2) the connection between linguistic form and function; and 3) the connections between language, language learning and general properties of cognition. Contributions that address the conference themes from the following perspectives are especially welcome: Cognitive linguistics; cognitive, functional, and discourse approaches to language learning ; discourse approaches to language; functional and discourse approaches to language teaching; and usage-based models of language. Plenary speakers will include: Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig Melissa Bowerman Nick Ellis Adele Goldberg Michael Tomasello Invited colloquia will include: "New Approaches to Discourse Markers" Deborah Schiffrin, organizer "The Context of Bilingualism" Kendall King, organizer ABSTRACT DEADLINE: September 30, 2002 SUBMISSION TYPES: INDIVIDUAL PAPERS, COLLOQUIA, POSTERS SUBMISSION FORMAT: E-mail text and MS Word file, 350 words maximum FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: WEBSITE: (submission information to be posted soon) CONFERENCE ORGANIZER: ANDREA TYLER We are pleased to announce that for the first time, this year's GURT will include an award for the best student abstract. =================================== From adam.kilgarriff at ITRI.BRIGHTON.AC.UK Fri Jun 14 16:57:52 2002 From: adam.kilgarriff at ITRI.BRIGHTON.AC.UK (Adam Kilgarriff) Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 17:57:52 +0100 Subject: New MSc in Lexical Computing and Lexicography Message-ID: We would very much appreciate it if you could spread the word about this course.

A volume bringing together work aimed at testing the claim to universality of the NSM, with specific reference to Romance, on the one hand, and a number of data-driven studies using NSM, on the other hand, is currently in its planning stages. John Benjamins has been identified as a potential publisher. At this point in time, publication is envisaged by the end of 2003. An earlier call for papers has identified a number of likely contributors, but more are welcome. It is envisaged that the typical contributor will already have some familiarity with NSM - although newcomers to the approach are by no means excluded. For a crash-course, see Cliff Goddard's overview on the University of New England website: http://www.une.edu.au/arts/LCL/disciplines/linguistics/nsmpage.htm Would potential contributors, who have not expressed their interest after the first call of papers, please identify themselves and provide me with some information on the amount of exposure they have had to NSM, and in what way(s) they would be willing to take part in this venture? Those who have replied before do not need to respond to this message; they will be contacted individually. All contributions will be peer-reviewed before being prepared for publication. I shall be happy to answer questions or to redirect queries to NSM specialists more knowledgeable than me.
