Meeting Description: 

Cognition and Language Workshop
University of California, Santa Barbara, April 14, 2012

The Cognition and Language Workshop (CLaW) is a conference focused on the relationship between language and cognition. The conference aims to provide a venue for presentation of research on language as a cognitive activity, as well at research on cognition as a dimension of language. CLaW is oriented towards empirical, data-driven research, and encourages interdisciplinary work connecting linguistics with 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. 

The 2012 Cognition and Language Workshop (CLaW) will take place on April 14, 2012, at UC Santa Barbara. 

The conference will feature an invited keynote talk by Professor Seana Coulson of UC San Diego, entitled ''Neural Cartography: Conceptual Mapping in Language and Cognition''.  The program also includes eight talks selected from among peer-reviewed abstracts.  Conference presentations cover a range of topics in the area of language and cognition, including language acquisition, codeswitching, metaphor, and morphosyntax, and draw on data from several languages, including English, Dutch, Czech, and Albanian.

More information about the conference, including the complete program, can be found on the CLaW website at http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu/claw/ .  To register for the conference, please email claw.ucsb at gmail.com with your name and affiliation.  There is a $10 registration fee, payable on site or by mailing a check.

such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
