Meeting Description: 

The Psycholinguistics and Cognition Lab of the Department of Psychology,
Concordia University, Montreal, Canada will be hosting a workshop on Verb
Concepts, to be held on Friday - Saturday, 3-4 October, 2008, in Montreal,
Canada. The full title of the workshop is 'Verb Concepts: Cognitive Science
Perspectives on Verb Representation and Processing.'
With this one time event, we aim to bring together researchers working on verb
concepts either from a theoretical or an empirical perspective and to achieve a
forum of discussions covering every possible aspect of verb representation and
processing. We are very pleased to have nine invited speakers each of them
representing a separate research area dealing with verb representation and
processing, such as theoretical linguistics, philosophy of language,
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive science.

Invited Speakers:
Roelien Bastiaanse (Linguistics, University of Groningen)
William Croft (Linguistics, University of New Mexico)
Brendan Gillon (Linguistics, McGill University)
Martin Haiden (Université François Rabelais, Tours)
David Kemmerer (Psychology, Purdue University)
Beth Levin (Linguistics, Stanford University)
Gail Mauner (Psychology, University at Buffalo)
Anna Papafragou (Psychology, University of Delaware)
Paul Pietroski (Philosophy & Linguistics, University of Maryland)
