The Linguist's Workshop: Data, Theory and Experimental Testing

Host Institution: Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU)
Coordinating Institution: Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU)
Website: https://www.uik.eus/en/linguists-workshop-data-theory-experimental-testing

Dates: 08-Jul-2019 - 09-Jul-2019
Location: Donostia/San Sebastian, Spain

Focus: The course is intended as a practical exercise in scientific research, geared towards masters and doctoral students as well as academic professionals interested in developing their own research project in the experimental area or in linguistic documentation. The course is organized on the basis of three basic themes : (i) Language Documentation for Linguistic Theory ; (ii) Linguistic Variation and Linguistic Theory ; and (iii) Approaching experimental linguistics as a tool for pursuing theoretical questions.
Minimum Education Level: Undergraduate


Special Qualifications:
The course is suited for master and doctoral students as well as for undergraduate students acquainted with linguistic theory (basic knowledge of gramatical theory)


Description:
This course proposal has two objectives. First, it aims at critically
reviewing the notion of « parameter » and the formal means by which variation
can be accounted for in a biolinguistics framework, understood as the
interdisciplinary area defined by the joint contributions of linguistic
theory, and advances in biology, the neurosciences, psycholinguistics,
computational modeling and genetics. Second, the course presents a
comprehensive analysis of the process from data collection to theory
formation, and from there to experimental settings for hypothesis testing. It
is intended as a synthetic and up-to-date review of the practical and
theoretical issues involving the processes of data collection, hypothesis
formation and experimental testing of scientific hypotheses in the context of
linguistic research.
 
The participants will benefit from a two-day course led by six internationally
known experts in the different areas involved: Angel Gallego (Universitat
Autonoma de Barcelona), Leticia Pablos (Leiden University), Maria Polinsky
(University of Maryland), Ian Roberts (Cambridge University), Douglas Saddy
(University of Reading) and Juan Uriagereka (University of Maryland). The
course will also have a daily poster session, open to the ongoing research
work of young researchers.
