Meeting Description: 

The Language Faculty is an international network of scholars interested in
human language that meets once a year at the University of Nantes. The 2019
instalment of the Language Faculty will explore the research agenda for
linguistic inquiry beyond the traditional frontiers of humanities. The
following questions will be addressed:

- Which aspects of psychology, neuroscience, or other related fields are of
interest for linguistic theory? Why do we want to understand those aspects?
What can we hope to learn from integrating them into linguistic research? What
do we already know, and what can we hope to learn in the near future?

- What can linguistic theory contribute to neighbouring fields? Are there
questions in grammatical theory that particularly call for interdisciplinary
or experimental research? How do we need to re/state linguistic questions in
order to make them amenable to experimental and/or interdisciplinary research?

- Is there a continuity in the generative research paradigm that we can trace
from early, introspection-based research to the questions dealt with today in
research on acquisition, processing, imagery, and other experimental
paradigms? Are there domains of linguistic inquiry that had to be
fundamentally re-thought in order to leverage new methodologies? Has this
changed the way we think of language now, as compared to our views a few
decades ago?

These questions will be discussed by a panel of specialists in the respective
domains:

- Hagit Borer, Linguistics, Queen Mary, University of London
- Carlo Cecchetto, Structures formelles du langage (UMR 7023 SFL), CNRS
- Cynthia Fisher, Language Acquisition Lab, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign
- Yosef Grodzinsky, The Neurolinguistics Lab @ ELSC, The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem
- James Magnuson, Computational Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Lab,
University of Connecticut
- Alec Marantz, NYU Morphology Lab, New York University
