*Cognition and Language Workshop: Call for Papers*

**University of California, Santa Barbara, April 14 2012**

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.

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.ucsb at gmail.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.
