        FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
*****************************************************************
                 Padova 22th - 26th August 2000

The Department of Linguistics of the University of Padua is pleased to
announce a conference on the relevance of Linguistics in Speech and
Language Pathology and in Speech therapy.
Our aim is to explore the interdisciplinary complexity of the interface
language/cognition and evaluate the relevance of linguistic theory in the
development of cognitive science; to discuss general problems posed by
different analyses; to bring under scrutiny theoretical assumptions  taken
for granted in recent analyses, which  may not be so  obvious as they seem;
to investigate how even apparently minimal choices in the description of
phenomena may affect the form and complexity of the interface; and to
stress the theoretical and methodological relevance of the tools developed
in this area by focusing on empirical data of different languages.
We encourage submissions of papers dealing with any aspect of Speech and
language pathology in relation to any area of linguistics: phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, language acquisition,
language change, sign language, bilingualism, sociolinguistics,
neurolinguistics, cognitive grammar, generative grammar,  etc.
We welcome submissions of proposals for
