Meeting Description:

Language Pathology is a special session in the context of ExLing 2020. Due to
COVID-19, ExLing 2020 will go online. Further information will be provided
about any prospects for an onsite conference in Athens, in case the pandemic
definitely subsides in good time. Talks will be held through video conferences
and selected ones will be uploaded on our ExLing YouTube channel.

ExLing is a unique international event aimed at bringing together
professionals applying experimental and computational methods in their study
of language and promoting the exchange of ideas on innovative approaches to
the study of language.

All experimental disciplines and subjects with reference to the study of
language are considered relevant to the conference, ranging from speech
production and language comprehension to cognitive linguistics and discourse
analysis as well as from applied linguistics and language education to
computational linguistics and language pathology.


Call for Papers: 

The special session on Language Pathology is related to research and
applications in major aspects of language disorders as well as the development
of methodologies and technical aids to promote language rehabilitation
therapies. Language deficits are the predominant symptoms of many
neurodegenerative conditions including Primary Progressive Aphasia,
Alzheimer’s Disease, and Parkinson’s disease. The special session on Language
Pathology targets to bring together interdisciplinary specialists and promote
novel experimental methods that can complement and even improve current
screening and/or diagnostic approaches and language batteries for testing and
evaluating conditions affecting speech and language.
 
The session will promote interdisciplinary approaches among different research
areas from applied and clinical linguistics to neuroscience and natural
language processing.
 
The session will host a keynote lecture on key aspects of the area along with
a combination of oral and poster papers on diverse aspects of language
pathology. 
 
Submissions of abstracts related to the above objectives of the special
session on Language Pathology are welcomed at ExLing 2020. For more
information on how to submit your abstract, please visit ExLing 2020
