Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics 5.1 
Short Title: EMCL 5 

Date: 06-Mar-2011 - 11-Mar-2011 
Location: Freiburg, Germany 
Contact: Monica Gonzalez-Marquez 
Contact Email: mgonzale at cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de 
Meeting URL: http://https://sites.google.com/site/emcl5freiburg/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Psycholinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The goal of EMCL is to facilitate dialogue among language researchers with
different methodological backgrounds, i.e. theorists, experimentalists, 
corpus linguists, etc. We do this by creating an environment where 
specialists learn from each other by developing a research project together 
where their various skills are combined.

Intended audience: Language researchers with an embodiment, situated 
cognition and/or cognitive linguistics background. No prior experimental or 
corpus training is required though an understanding of the theoretical 
issues is necessary. Participants can be at different early stages in their 
careers, i.e. graduate students, post-grads, post-docs, junior faculty, etc.

Format: During the course of a week, participants will join one of 5 hands-
on mini-labs. Each mini-lab will be responsible for completing a joint 
research project. A select group of students (max. 8 per group for a total of 
40) will be invited to participate. Each group will work with two researchers 
who will  guide the group in selecting an idea for the group to investigate, 
structuring  and organizing a research project, and carrying it out. The 
session will end with the presentation of findings and a general discussion.

Topics to be covered include,
- Deciding on a research topic
- Transforming the research topic into a research question
- Developing experimental hypotheses and designing an experiment
- Data collection
- Statistical analysis and interpretation
- Presentation of findings to an audience
