Meeting Description:

Language in Use is an informal workshop focusing on how language is used by
speakers and hearers. A wide range of empirical methods such as the use of
linguistic corpora, psycholinguistic experimentation, neurolinguistic
observational methods, sociolinguistic methodology and other methods are
employed.

The Rice University Department of Linguistics is hosting a workshop on LANGUAGE
IN USE Saturday-Sunday Oct. 23-24, 2004, in the Humanities Building at Rice.

Presenters include faculty and doctoral students from U.T. Austin and Rice
University, who will be speaking on a wide range of linguistic topics including
corpus linguistic studies and methodology, discourse, sociolinguistics,
laboratory phonology, historical linguistics, and computational linguistics, as
well as grammatical analyses based on more traditional methodologies. The main
focus is on language as used by speakers and hearers, and the empirical data
used to model language.

Registration of attendees outside Rice and U.T. Austin is possible on a
space-available basis. Registration is $5 and includes two box lunches and a
Saturday night barbecue. To register/inquire whether space is available for
further registrants, please contact Martin Hilpert at hilpert at rice.edu

To reserve a space, payment of the $5 registration fee by October 20 is necessary.

The program will be finalized ca. Oct. 17. Please see the departmental website
(http://www.linguistics.rice.edu) under Activities for the workshop schedule
which should be posted by the 20th at the latest.

The workshop is co-sponsored by the Department of Linguistics and the Center for
the Study of Cultures at Rice University, with participation and cooperation by
U.T. Depts. of German and Linguistics.
