Meeting Description:

The first international workshop “Concepts in Action: Representation,
Learning, and Application” took place at the Institute of Cognitive Science at
Osnabrück University in 2018, followed by two virtual events as part of the
Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BOSK) in 2020 and 2021. Currently, we are
organizing a fourth (potentially hybrid) workshop “Concepts in Action:
Representation, Learning, and Application” (CARLA) in 2022. In addition to a
general main session, CARLA 2022 will feature a special session on concepts
and register, in relation to the Collaborative Research Center CRC1412
“Register” at the Humboldt University of Berlin.

Venue: Dorotheenstr. 24, 10117 Berlin, Room 1.101/1.102/1.103
Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany

Invited Speakers:
Special session: (22. August)
Asif Agha, University of Pennsylvania
Pia Knoeferle, Humboldt University of Berlin

Main session: (23-24. August)
Roberto G. de Almeida, Concordia University
Regine Eckardt, University of Konstanz
Martha Lewis, University of Bristol

Call for Abstracts:

“Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application” (CARLA) is an
international workshop aimed at fostering interdisciplinary exchange about
research on concepts. It invites contributions from all fields related to
cognitive science, including (but not limited to) linguistics, artificial
intelligence, psychology, philosophy, logic, computer science.

The workshop is open for research on any aspect of concepts, but there are
three overarching topics that are of special interest with the following (not
exhaustive) list of exemplary subtopics:

Representation: How can we formally describe and model concepts?
Learning: Where do concepts come from and how are they acquired?
Application: How are concepts used in cognitive tasks?

This workshop aims to provide an excellent opportunity to present and discuss
ongoing research on concepts, both from theoretical/formal and
applied/experimental viewpoints. We invite concept researchers from all
related fields to submit abstracts to the workshop.

Topics of the special session:
In addition to the general main session on concepts, we would like to draw
attention to our special session from researchers working at the interfaces
between linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropology, and sociology. This
special session will focus on concepts and registers, in relation to the
CRC1412 “Register”. Registers as socially recurring intra-individual (and
inter-individual) variation represent concepts influenced by situational and
functional settings, such as the formality of the context of use and social
relation of interlocutors. This special session is open to research on any
aspects of concepts in relation to registers, and in particular, to research
on register sensitivity of conceptual (lexical semantic and pragmatic)
knowledge. Subtopics include but are not restricted to: (1) Documentation,
description, and formal analyses of register-sensitivity of concepts; (2)
Semantics and pragmatics of socially-rich concepts such as “gender”
(biological, social, psychological) and “social status”; (3) Formal
definitions and (e.g. probabilistic) analyses of theoretical concepts and
notions in register research, such as “formality”; (4) Empirical
investigations of these matters using corpus-linguistic, fieldwork,
computational or experimental methods.

Submission and Publication:
We invite the submission of abstracts via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=carla2022

The abstracts should use two to three pages (including references) and should
be uploaded as pdf based on the following template (LaTeX or Word) which is
based on Springer’s LNCS style, available on our website.

Depending on the number and quality of the received submissions, selected
contributions may be published after the workshop. For planning reasons,
please indicate during the submission procedure whether you are interested in
a publication in the form of conference proceedings.
