Meeting Description:

Languages are learned and used in social interaction. Therefore, social
factors are likely to play a role in the way that languages are learned and
processed, which in turn, influences the form that languages take. Indeed,
research has shown that information is processed and represented differently
depending on the social context. Similarly, recent research on language
evolution has started exploring the relationship between linguistic properties
and the social setting in which languages have evolved. Surprisingly, however,
these two lines of research do not link to each other. The goal of this
workshop is to try to bridge the gap between these lines of research and see
how they can inform each other.


Call for Posters: 

Submissions are invited for research on the role that social factors play in
processing, learning or evolution. Works that link social processes in
processing and evolution are particularly welcome.

Submission deadline: June 1, 2016

Abstracts should be submitted to: SocLg at mpi.nl. Abstracts should be no more
than one page long with any combination of text and figures.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. 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 eLinguistics 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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
