Workshop Announcement and Call for Registration

On-line Spoken Sentence Processing: Recent Evidence from Cross-Modal Priming

University of Groningen, the Netherlands
January 26, 2007


The Cross-Modal Priming (CMP) paradigm allows moment-by-moment activation of
word meanings to be accurately tracked down during ongoing spoken sentence
comprehension.

The workshop aims to give an introduction to the CMP paradigm and will
provide an overview of the significance of the paradigm for the study of
spoken language comprehension.

Speakers have been selected carefully to cover:
- a broad range of topics (e.g., gapping, long-distance dependencies,
pronouns and reflexives, verbs, working memory, rate of speech input)
- different variants of the paradigm (e.g., Cross-Modal Lexical Priming,
Cross-Modal Rhyme Priming, Cross-Modal Picture Priming, Cross-Modal
Repetitive Picture Priming, Cross-Modal Gender Decision)
- and different research populations (e.g., children, second language
learners, individuals with aphasia, children with SLI, healthy adults)

The workshop is relevant for linguists, psycholinguists and neurolinguists
interested in on-line spoken sentence processing and for researchers and
students interested in methodological issues on this topic.

Confirmed speakers:
- Prof. dr. Lewis Shapiro (San Diego State University)
- Dr. Tracy Love-Geffen (University of California at San Diego & San Diego
State University).
- Dr. Claudia Felser (University of Essex)
- Prof. dr. Cynthia Thompson (Northwestern University, Evanston)
- Prof. dr. Frank Wijnen (University of Utrecht)
- Dr. John Hoeks (University of Groningen)
- Drs. Femke Wester (University of Groningen)
