Meeting Description:
Conference theme: Linguistic and cognitive foundations of meaning
Language and cognition are intimately linked, but debates about the exact
nature of their relationship still occupy a central focus in cognitive
science. Meaning provides an important window onto the interface between
language and broader cognition: on one hand, language can be viewed as mapping
onto pre-existing concepts, on the other hand, language can be thought of as a
set of cues to meaning. Our invited program brings together an
interdisciplinary set of speakers with diverse theoretical perspectives and
empirical approaches to discuss issues at the interface of language and
cognition within the domain of meaning.
Invited speakers include:
Marina Bedny - Johns Hopkins University (US)
Susan Carey - Harvard University (US)
Emmanuel Chemla - CNRS, LSCP, Ecole Normale Supérieure (France)
Jennifer Culbertson - University of Edinburgh (UK)
Jean-Rémy Hochmann - CNRS-ISCMJ, Université Lyon 1 (France)
Gary Lupyan - University of Wisconsin-Madison (US)
Asifa Majid - University of York (UK)
Paul Pietroski - Rutgers University (US)
Uli Sauerland - Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (Germany)
Alexis Wellwood - University of Southern California (US)
