Call Deadline: 25-Apr-2023

Meeting Description:

Human languages vary in their phonology, morphosyntax and semantics,
but there are important constraints on this variation. What explains
these typological similarities and differences across languages?
Recent work has combined tools from linguistics, cognitive psychology
and computer science to address this question. In addition to
empirical discoveries, this has led to novel hypotheses for how
similarities and differences are to be accounted for, invoking
internal (e.g. cognitive) and/or external (e.g. communicative,
historical, geographical) pressures on language structure. The aims of
the workshop are two-fold: (i) expand the knowledge of different
internal and external pressures on language, and how they explain
cross-linguistic similarities and differences in different aspects of
language structure, (ii) invite a critical discussion of implications
of this work for the study of human cognition more generally.

Keynote speakers:

Roni Katzir (Tel Aviv University)
Mora Maldonado (Université de Nantes)
Shane Steinert-Threlkeld (University of Washington)

Call for Papers:

We invite theoretical, experimental and/or computational work on
topics that include (but are not limited to):

- Novel internal and/or external pressures which may shape language
structure
- Interaction among competing internal and/or external pressures on
language
- Novel empirical generalizations that may be explained by internal
and/or external pressures on language
- Distinguishing among competing explanations of cross-linguistic
similarities and differences
- Synthesis of existing work which may shed light on which pressures
(don’t) matter for which aspects of language structure
- Implication of work on cross-linguistic similarities and differences
for the study of human cognition more generally


We invite anonymized submission of abstracts of 2 pages (12 pt font;
1in or 2.5cm margins) — with an extra page for references of figures —
on new research on topics related to those listed above by 25 April
2023.
