Meeting Description:

The language sciences increasingly have in common their adoption of rational
probabilistic approaches, such as Bayesian, Information Theoretic, and Game
Theoretic frameworks. The goal of this conference is to bring together speech
and language researchers whose scientific contributions reflect  the full
diversity of disciplines and methodologies — from speech to discourse, on-line
processing to corpus-based investigation, through to language change and
evolution — that have benefited from, and share, such rational explanations.


Final Call for Papers:

Extended Deadline: June 6, 2019

Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science (RAILS)

24-26 October, 2019
Saarbruecken, Germany

Keynote speakers:

Gerhard Jaeger, University of Tuebingen
Bayesian typology

Gina Kuperberg, Tufts University and Massachusetts General Hospital
What a probabilistic computational approach can tell us about us about the
neurobiology of language comprehension

Hannah Rohde, University of Edinburgh
Why are you telling me this: Comprehension as a process of reverse engineering

Rory Turnbull, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Phonetic reduction, natural selection, and bounded rationality

We seek submissions from across the language sciences — including speech
science, theoretical linguistics, empirical linguistics, psycholinguistics and
neuroscience, computational linguistics, as well as language development,
change and evolution — which apply rational probabilistic explanations to
linguistic phenomena, or bring novel experimental findings to bear on such
accounts.

Submissions in the form of a 400 word abstract (excluding references), in text
format, are to be submitted electronically at:
http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/rails2019

Submissions open: 1 May 2019
Submissions due: 6 June 2019 (midnight CET)
Notification of acceptance: 1 July 2019
Conference:  24-26 October 2019

Submission will be considered for either oral or poster presentation. Details
on the submission format and procedure are also available at the conference
