Call Deadline: 12-May-2019 

Meeting Description:

The Workshop on Language and the Brain  aims at bringing together researchers,
theorists and practitioners from across a variety of disciplines comprising
Cognitive Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, and Neurolinguistics, in order to
explore the complexities of the human brain regarding the language capacity.

The workshop intends to cover a wide variety of themes and address a number of
questions, among which are the following (this is by no means an exhaustive
list):

- What makes human language(s) unique?
- How do humans/we acquire the various different linguistic components? How is
language learnt?
- How are these linguistic components connected in the brain? How do humans
process and produce language(s)?
- Are there any common characteristics between the
structure/processing/learning of natural languages and other languages (e.g.
music)?
- Is it possible to map language to its physical reality in the brain?
- Is human vocal learning special in any way?
- How does the study of language disorders contribute to a better
understanding of the linguistic brain?
- How do context and frequency of use contribute to the way language is
represented in the mind/brain?


Call for Papers:

For the paper sessions, we invite contributions from the fields of Cognitive
Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, and Neurolinguistics, on topics that suit the
interdisciplinary, exchange-oriented outline of the workshop. The research
presented may, but does not have to be, interdisciplinary itself.

Each paper will be presented in 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes for
discussion.

Abstracts of up to 300 words should be submitted to langco at uvigo.es by May 12,
2019.

We will send notifications of acceptance by June 15, 2019.
