Call Deadline: 06-Feb-2004

Meeting Description:

Les XVIIIes Journées de linguistique (JDL) se tiendront les 11 et 12
mars 2004, au pavillon Alphonse-Desjardins de l'Université Laval. Les
personnes intéressées à participer aux JDL doivent soumettre leur
proposition de communication avant le vendredi 6 février 2004. Pour la
dix-huitième année, l'Association des étudiants diplômés inscrits en
langues et linguistique (A-DILL) de l'Université Laval organise son
colloque étudiant annuel, les Journées de linguistique (JDL), qui se
tiendra les 11 et 12 mars 2004. Ce colloque permet aux étudiants des
deuxième et troisième cycles ainsi qu'aux chercheurs du niveau
postdoctoral de présenter leurs travaux de recherche en linguistique,
en traduction et en didactique des langues. Cette année, le comité
organisateur des JDL aimerait inviter à nouveau les
étudiants-chercheurs d'autres universités à participer au colloque.

Ce colloque jouit d'une popularité grandissante. Dans le passé, nous
avons déjà eu le plaisir d'accueillir des étudiants venant de
plusieurs provinces canadiennes et pays étrangers, notamment
l'Ontario, le Nouveau-Brunswick, l'Afrique et la France. La
participation de nouveaux étudiants-chercheurs contribue grandement au
rayonnement du colloque.

Les JDL permettent aux étudiants des cycles supérieurs de se
rencontrer et d'échanger sur leurs recherches. Nous aimerions que
cette expérience profite à tous. Les documents Appel de communication,
Proposition de communication et Résumé de communication seront
disponibles sous peu sur le site Internet de l'A-DILL à l'adresse
suivante : http://www.fl.ulaval.ca/lli/aedill

Compositionality, Concepts and Cognition - An Interdisciplinary
Conference in Cognitive Science

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Compositionality, Concepts and Cognition
An Interdisciplinary Conference in Cognitive Science
Düsseldorf, Germany
February 28 to March 3, 2004

http://www.phil.uni-duesseldorf.de/thphil/compositionality

CONFERENCE AIM

The conference on compositionality is to take place at Heinrich Heine
University Düsseldorf, Germany, from February 28 to March 3, 2004.

Compositionality is a key feature of structured representational
systems, be they linguistic, mental or neuronal. A system of
representations is called compositional just in case the semantic
values of complex representations are determined by the semantic
values of their parts.

The conference brings together internationally renowned scholars from
various disciplines of the cognitive sciences, including philosophers,
psychologists, linguists, computer scientists and neuro
scientists. The speakers will address the issue of compositionality
from very different perspectives. It is the aim of the conference to
further the exchange of views on compositionality across the
disciplines and to explore the implications and conditions of
compositionality as a property of representational systems in the
study of language, mind and brain.
