Cognitive Science Summer School on Reasoning/Canada 

Host Institution: Université du Québec à Montréal
Coordinating Institution: Université du Québec à Montréal
Website: http://www.summer16.isc.uqam.ca/page/renseignement.php?lang_id=2

Dates: 20-Jun-2016 - 01-Jul-2016
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada

Focus: Reasoning is an important component of human cognitive ability, and, as such, it is investigated by an extremely broad range of disciplines and interdisciplinary endeavors, including many branches of linguistics. The University of Quebec at Montreal thus welcomes linguists and language scholars interested in reasoning to attend its two-week summer school that focuses on this theme.
Minimum Education Level: BA


Description:
Registration is now open for UQAM's Cognitive Science Summer School, taking
place from June 20 to July 1 2016 on our campus in downtown Montreal, just
steps from Jazz Fest and other cultural activites. This year's theme is
'Reasoning' and the two-week program covers topics related to a wide range of
linguistic subdisciplines including language acquisition, pragmatics,
modality, computational linguistics, and Bayesian psycholinguistics in
addition to other areas of cognitive science. An ensemble of more than 50
internationally-renowned researchers will team teach these topics via lectures
and discussions, held entirely in English. We welcome the participation of
graduate students as well as post-graduate scholars, faculty and other
professionals. Continuing education or course credit may be possible. For
further details, including the full program and list of instructors, see the
summer school website.
