 Main Organisers: Jan Nuyts and Johan van der Auwera

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.

Invited plenary speakers include

Bill Croft (University of Manchester & Max-Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig)
Suzanne Kemmer (Rice University)
Stephen Levinson (Max-Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen)
