Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Cognitive neuroscience is one of the research priorities of the University of
Reading (UoR), and over the last years we have built up a strong and interesting
interdisciplinary group of excellent researchers.

Recently, UoR has been awarded with a 'Bridging the Gaps' grant for
interdisciplinary research on 'Cognitive Systems Sciences' (CSS) from the EPSRC
(Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council of UK). The idea is to bring
together psychologists, linguists, mathematicians, and computer scientists to
make progress with the basic and important questions of our field. 

As part of the CSS program, we are organising a two day workshop on

Dynamical Systems in Language

To be held at the
University of Reading,
September 08 - 09, 2008.

The aim of the workshop is to bridge the gaps between neural computation and
symbolic cognition and will focus on issues such as:

Computational mechanics
Grammar classification by dynamical systems
Dynamical language processing
Connectionist parsing
Dynamical field approaches to symbolic cognition

Roland Potthast
