Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Please find below the information about the gathering at the Basque Country that will take place from June 28th to July 1st, 2010 in San Sebastián (Spain). This 40-hour course offers the possibility of listening to and interacting with an outstanding panel of speakers, representative of the frontier in language research within Cognitive Science. It is also a commemoration of the 40 years since the publication in 1970 of "The Cognitive Bases for Linguistic Structures" by Thomas G. Bever, a precursor of many of the topics that are today known as Biolinguistics. Also in that paper, the famous example "The horse raced past the barn fell" was first proposed to illustrate some phenomena concerning language processing.<br>
<br>
We would like to encourage students to attend. There are some scholarships available for students, which cover registration fees and housing. The deadline for application has been extended. Please urge your students to come to Spain and enjoy the unique opportunity to see so many bright and influential people debating together and to ask them questions.<br>

*Aims: *The famous garden path sentence /the horse raced past the barn fell/ turns 40 years since it was<br>
<br>
published in the seminal paper "The Cognitive Bases of Linguistic Structures" by Thomas G.<br>
<br>
Bever, one of the founders of the field of language processing. Language is the focus of some<br>
<br>
of the major scientific issues in cognitive science, such as the interaction between associative<br>
<br>
habits and structured mental computations, or a productive rapport between innatist approaches<br>
<br>
and biological and functional approaches. This meeting brings together some of the most<br>
<br>
outstanding researchers in the field, to discuss current frontiers in our understanding of<br>
<br>
language within cognitive science, to assess the progress made during these four decades<br>
<br>
of research in language processing and to pose questions for the next generation of studies.<br>
