DGfS Summer School 2019 "Experimental Pragmatics: Theory – Methods – Interfaces"
Host Institution:
Website: https://summerschool.xprag.de/
Dates: 05-Aug-2019 - 16-Aug-2019
Location: Berlin, Germany
Focus: The DGfS Summer School 2019 is organized by the Priority Programme 1727 "XPrag.de: New Pragmatic Theories based on Experimental Evidence (SPP 1727)", which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Host of the school is the Leibniz-Centre General Linguistics (ZAS) Berlin. The school focuses on recent developments in the challenging field of Experimental Pragmatics. It deals with long-standing issues in pragmatic theory and relevant interfaces alongside new, experimental ways of addressing research questions in the field.
Minimum Education Level: BA
Description:
International leading experts in the field of Experimental Pragmatics provide
20 two-week courses and three evening lectures. Each course include 8
sessions. The language of instruction is English. The courses are assigned to
three thematic areas: Theory, Methods, and Interfaces.
The following courses will be offered in area „Theory“:
-Alternative sets (Clemens Mayr, U of Goettingen)
-Implicatures (Bob van Tiel, ZAS Berlin)
-Perspective (Hazel Pearson, Queen Mary U London)
-Presupposition (Philippe Schlenker, IJN Paris)

-Reference (Petra Schumacher, U of Cologne)
-Speech acts (Manfred Krifka, ZAS Berlin / HU Berlin)
The following courses will be offered in area „Methods“:
-Event-related potentials as a tool in experimental pragmatics (Maria
Spychalska, U of Cologne)
-Eye tracking (Jesse Snedeker, Harvard U)
-Pragmatic language disorder (Valentina Bambini, IUSS Pavia)
-Pragmatics and semantics in language acquisition (Napoleon Katsos, Cambridge
U / Teresa Guasti, Milan Bicocca U)
-Probabilistic pragmatics (Judith Degen, Stanford U)
-Statistics with R (Nicole Gotzner, ZAS Berlin)
The following courses will be offered in area „Interfaces“:
-Fieldwork (Judith Tonhauser, Ohio State U / U of Stuttgart)
-Gestures (Cornelia Ebert, U of Frankfurt/Main)
-Pragmatics of Language Evolution (Johann-Mattis List, MPI-SHH / U of Jena)

Noveck, CNRS Institut des Sciences Cognitives – Marc Jeannerod, Lyon / Diana
Mazzarella, U of Neuchâtel)
Plenary talks will be given by Sigrid Beck (U of Tuebingen), Barbara Kaup (U
