The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers from the

field of linguistic typology and from the domain of cognitive
approaches to language (broadly defined) to reflect on how the
typological and the cognitive enterprises in language research
interrelate, what they have to offer each other, and/or how they can
join forces in view of their shared goal of achieving an explanatory
account of language.

Abstracts are invited for 30-minute presentations (plus 10 minutes
discussion time) on any topic contributing to this overall purpose.
