This is a session of the following conference: LSA 2003 Institute
Meeting Description:
Japanese Language Processing Workshop
July 25-26, 2003
Michigan State University
The 4th Japanese Language Processing Workshop will take place July
25-26, 2003 as part of the Linguistic Society of America Summer
Institute 2003, at Michigan State University.
The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers in
Japanese psycholinguistics to discuss theoretical and methodological
issues related to current research. Topics include syntactic,
morphological, and prosodic factors in human language processing. The
following are some of the basic questions to be considered.
* How do people process individual words and associate them with
each other in order to extract the meaning of a sentence?
* To what extent is this process similar cross-linguistically?
* What is the role of grammatical constraints in this process?
How do they interact with other sources of information such as
world knowledge and with the availability of cognitive
resources?
The workshop will include tutorial sessions, which will survey
necessary background for the discussions, with special emphasis on the
sentence-level comprehension and production of Japanese and related
languages.
Workshop dates: July 25-26, 2003
C312 Wells Hall Michigan State University
Organizers: Edson T. Miyamoto (NAIST) and Hiroko Yamashita (RIT)
