Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science 

Call Deadline: 15-May-2016 

Meeting Description:

Considerable work has been done concerning the link of language to other
cognitive domains, in particular motor cognition. In this interdisciplinary
workshop, we aim at bringing together young researchers (including, but not
limited to researchers from the University of Vienna) to discuss their work
with experts from various fields. We particularly would like to encourage
young researchers from the cognitive sciences: linguistics, neuroscience,
artificial intelligence, anthropology, philosophy and psychology who have a
focus on the topic of linking language to motor cognition. 

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):

- Empirical and theoretical approaches to language and to motor cognition in
the fields of linguistics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, philosophy,
psychology, anthropology

- Cognitive mechanisms involved in the relation between the language system
and the conceptual system (in particular motor cognition) such as
eye-hand-coordination, haptic perception, motor-concept variation in action
verbs, motor planning, object detection…

- The production, perception and understanding of (referential) language and
motor gestures: e. g. pointing, grasping, touching ...


Call for Papers:

We solicit abstracts for short input presentations of 20 minutes from PhD
students of different disciplines. We would particularly like to encourage
young researchers from Vienna to participate as speakers. The presentations
will be held in focus groups with ample room for discussion and constructive
interdisciplinary feedback on the individual PhD projects. We also invite
researchers and students with an interest in the topic who do not give a
presentation!
 
Abstracts for presentations (one page) and workshop registrations (without
presentation) may be submitted by sending an informal email to the organizers
(juliane.fink at univie.ac.at; timo.ahlers at univie.ac.at). 

The deadline for abstract submission is May 15, 2016.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
