Call for Papers:

Doing experiments with theoretical linguistics

SMART (Speech & Language, Music, Art, Reasoning and Thought), in collaboration
with the  Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication, is organizing a
workshop dedicated to empirical investigations into the constructs of
theoretical linguistics. We hope to bring together scientists testing
linguistic theories through experimental methods. 

Linguistic theory since the fifties has developed a rich body of constructs
that have been used to explain the knowledge and cognitive mechanisms humans
require to use language. So far there is an agreement that the language
faculty is a biological object which can, therefore, be studied like one. With
the advent of psycholinguistics and the spread of empirical methods among
linguists, a new challenge emerges. Linguist must develop experiments that can
provide empirical evidence of the theoretical constructs used in linguistic
research.

Professor Colin Phillips from the Maryland Language Science Center will be the
keynote speaker of the event. We welcome researchers working on empirical
studies focused on the following topics: 

- The ontological status of theoretical constructs (morphemes, rules,
features, etc.) 
- The study of linguistic processes/operations in broader (neuro)cognitive
contexts
- The development of psychometric measurements which can tap into linguistic
knowledge using behavioral data
- The exploration of the cognitive mechanisms that are responsible for the
processing of linguistic information 
- The neural underpinnings of language production and comprehension
- In general, experimental approaches to the study of language that are used
provide evidence for specific linguistic theories, or to select between
competing hypotheses. 

We invite submissions for 30-minute talks (including discussion and questions)
and poster presentations. Submissions should be sent to
DoingExperiments-fgw at uva.nl, indicating whether the submission is intended as
an oral presentation or a poster presentation. 

The workshop will take place on April 4, 2019 in Amsterdam (specific location
to be confirmed)

Deadline for submission is 15 December, 2018
