Meeting Description: 

We are pleased to announce the 3rd annual Usage-Based Linguistics conference,
which will take place between 3-5 July, 2017. The conference is organized
jointly by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University. This
year the conference will be held at the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem.

The conference aims to bring together researchers who study language structure
and use from a wide range of perspectives (linguistic, typological,
developmental, psycholinguistic, interaction-oriented, computational). This
year’s special theme is the relation between language processing and language
typology and change: how do cognitive biases affect how language is structured
and how it changes over time? We are delighted to have three invited speakers
whose work touches on this question from different perspectives: 

- Prof. Ruth Berman (Tel Aviv University)
- Dr. Jennifer Culberston (University of Edinburgh)
- Prof. Martin Hilpert (University of Neuchâtel).

We are pleased to announce the program of the 3rd annual Usage-Based
Linguistics conference, which will take place between July 3-5, 2017.

The full conference program can be found on our website:

where you will also find details about travel and accommodation in Jerusalem.
