Call for Graduate Student Participants

Introduction:
Recent years have witnessed a virtual explosion of theory about the
relationship between language and cognition in work on cognitive
grammar (Langacker), cognitive semantics (Talmy), conceptual
integration (Fauconnier & Turner), and conceptual metaphor (Lakoff,
Sweetser). However, most of the empirical support for these theories
lies in the linguistic judgments and intuitions of their
proponents.While this is a powerful form of empirical support, the
wide-ranging nature of the claims in cognitive linguistics creates a
particular need for converging evidence from other techniques in
cognitive science in order to assess both its assumptions and its
conclusions about cognitive phenomena. The Empirical Methods in
Cognitive Linguistics Workshop is motivated by the idea that
experimental and observational work can help substantiate the claims
of cognitive linguistics, and to further develop an empirically valid
account of the connection between language and cognition.
This interdisciplinary workshop is intended to provide a forum where
people doing experimental and observational research in cognitive
linguistics can come together to obtain a comprehensive picture of
progress in this endeavor, and to identify areas for future
investigation. During the workshop, we will explore the use of various
experimental and observational methods to address particular issues
relevant to language and cognition.
To this end, the goals of the workshop are:
-to evaluate experimental and empirical support for various claims in
cognitive linguistics;
-to address practical and methodological issues such as experimental
design, data
collection and analysis (including audio/video corpora,
eye-tracking, gesture, fMRI/EEG,
image schemas, etc.)
-to explore how data from natural language corpora can be fruitfully
incorporated in
experimental work;
-to create a network of researchers with common interests and concerns
for continued collaboration.
Graduate Students:
Participants will be graduate students undertaking
empirical/experimental work relevant to language and
cognition.Applicants should be familiar with current ideas in
cognitive linguistics and be prepared to critically discuss various
aspects of the theory. Participants will be expected to present their
ongoing research to the group for constructive feedback. Interested
graduate students are invited to submit their applications by
following the instructions given at the workshop website:
