Call Deadline: 16-Apr-2018 

Meeting Description:

The Eleventh Embodied & Situated Language Processing Conference will take
place in Lancaster, United Kingdom. The conference series covers topics that
deal with the interaction of language and sensorimotor processing across a
range of disciplines (including cognitive science, psycholinguistics,
cognitive linguistics, developmental psychology) and empirical methods
(including behavioural, neuropsychological, and computational). ESLP 2018
continues the highly successful series of international conferences that
started in 2007. As a focus in the 2018 conference, we particularly welcome
submissions that address the fundamental issue of conceptual grounding and how
meaning is learned and represented in the mind/brain.

Keynote Speakers:

Linda Smith (Indiana University)
Lorraine Tyler (University of Cambridge)
Gabriella Vigliocco (University College London)

Special Session on Methods and Reproducibility
Daniel Lakens (Eindhoven University of Technology)

Childcare: Free childcare will be available during the conference on a
first-come first-served basis.


2nd Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions for talk and poster presentations. Abstracts
can describe original work, but can also be an opinion or a summary of
previous work so long as these are relevant to the topic of the conference and
are of high intellectual and scientific quality. Abstracts should be no longer
than 250 words and should not contain any tables or figures.

Talks will be 15 minutes long (with 5 additional minutes for questions), while
posters will be presented at one of the poster sessions on each day of the
conference.

All abstract submissions can be submitted as plain text or optionally as
PDF-format. When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to indicate
whether you would like it to be considered for a talk, a poster or either; and
whether it is relevant to the special session on methods & reproducibility.

Submissions should be made online via Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eslp2018

The deadline for submissions is April 16, 2018.

Topic areas:

Topics should fit the usual ESLP remit of work that deals with embodied and
situated language processing across a range of disciplines (including
cognitive science, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, developmental
psychology) and empirical methods (including behavioural, neuropsychological,
and computational). As a focus in the 2018 conference, we particularly welcome
submissions that address the fundamental issue of conceptual grounding and how
meaning is learned and represented in the mind/brain. To ensure the future of
the field, research findings must be as robust as possible. The 2018
conference will also feature a special session on methods and reproducibility
in embodied cognition research and we welcome submissions that address issues
in this area.

If you have any questions, contact us by writing an email to:
