Meeting Description:

This two-day workshop will bring together different perspectives on event
cognition, joining forces from the fields of (psycho-)linguistics and language
typology (including multimodal communication), neuroscience (perception,
action and memory) and developmental science. We aim to identify general
principles in event cognition shaped by our underlying neurobiological and
cognitive infrastructure, and the domains in which the human capacity for
language (taking into account cross-linguistic diversity and multimodality)
may influence event perception and understanding. The workshop will be
organized in thematic sessions, with invited lectures and discussions by
renowned scholars, plus a poster session. 

Confirmed invited scholars: 
Gerry Altmann (University of Connecticut)
Silvia Gennari (University of York)
Peter Hagoort (MPI & Donders)
Angeliek van Hout (University of Groningen)
Yuki Kamide (University of Dundee)
Anna Papafragou (University of Delaware)
Brent Strickland (ENS & Institut Jean Nicod)
Christiane von Stutterheim (Heidelberg University)
Jeffrey Zacks (Washington University, St. Louis)

Workshop dates: October 27-28, 2017
Location: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The
Netherlands
Workshop organizers: 
Monique Flecken (MPI)
Ercenur Ünal (Radboud & MPI)
