Meeting Description:

Universal tendencies in language have long been at the forefront of linguistic
research. But focus has traditionally been placed on phonology and syntax.
Recently, several exciting new strands of research have highlighted the
importance of universal tendencies in meaning–semantic universals–to the study
of formal semantics. To-date, this work has largely used traditional sources
of data such as single language case studies or typological surveys. This
workshop focusses on the application of experimental methods to the study of
universals in structure and meaning. In other linguistic domains, experiments
have led to important advances in our ability to test specific predictions
made about the link between human cognition and universal features of
language. This workshop aims to bring experimental methods to the study of
semantic universals by bringing together researchers using these methods to
study meaning and structure.

Invited speakers:
Isabelle Dautriche (Aix-Marseille University)
Jeremy Kuhn (ENS Paris)
Wataru Uegaki (University of Edinburgh)
