Meeting Description:

We are excited to announce the second Experiments in Linguistic Meaning (ELM)
conference to be hosted by the University of Pennsylvania on May 19-21, 2022.
The conference is dedicated to the experimental study of linguistic meaning
broadly construed, with a focus on theoretical issues in semantics and
pragmatics, their interplay with other components of the grammar, their
relation to language processing and acquisition, as well as their connections
to human cognition and computation. We aim to include representation of
linguistic, psychological, logical, philosophical, social, developmental,
computational, as well as cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspectives.
 
Invited speakers:
Chris Kennedy, University of Chicago
Barbara Landau, Johns Hopkins University
Petra Schumacher, University of Cologne
 
Invited Symposium on Computational Approaches to the Study of Meaning:
Marie-Catherine de Marneffe, The Ohio State University
Ellie Pavlick, Brown University
Aaron Steven White, University of Rochester
 
The experimental study of meaning in language draws on a broad spectrum of
disciplines, topics, and methodologies, and ELM reflects this diversity in its
scope. The biennial ELM conference aims to foster the interdisciplinary study
of meaning, and to create a community of scholars that might not otherwise
meet and interact with each other with regularity. We encourage researchers
from around the world to submit their recent work to ELM2, and to attend in
order to discuss the latest theories and data in the cognitive science of
meaning broadly construed.
 
The University of Pennsylvania is home to a vibrant interdisciplinary
community that studies language and meaning across several departments. ELM
acknowledges support from Penn’s Integrated Language Sciences and
Technology(ILST) Initiative; mindCORE, Penn’s hub for the integrative study of
the mind; and Penn’s Department of Linguistics.
 
Format: In light of continued uncertainties about international in-person
conferences due to COVID, we leave the precise format open at this point.
While we sincerely hope to hold the conference in person, we plan to be
flexible in terms of accommodating remote presentations where needed, so
submissions do not require commitment to in-person attendance. (We will ask
for preferences in different scenarios for planning purposes, but this will
not be a consideration in acceptance decisions.)


Call for Papers:

Abstract Submissions via Easy Chair, due December 15, 2021 (11:59pm EST)
The conference will feature both 20-minute talks and poster presentations, and
abstracts will be considered for both unless only one category is specified at
time of submission. Abstracts must be anonymous and written in English. They
should use US Letter size paper and 1 inch margins on all four sides.
Abstracts must be single-spaced, and written using Arial 11pt font. Abstracts
should be at most 2 pages, including the main text of the abstract, figures,
and any supplementary materials and references the authors wish to include.
Authors should avoid identifying information in the abstract, especially when
referring to their own prior work. The abstract must be submitted as a single
PDF file and must include a title at the top. Abstracts violating these
requirements may be rejected without further consideration. 
 
Timeline:
 
November 15, 2021: ELM abstract submissions opens on Easy Chair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elm2)
December 15, 2021: Abstract submission deadline
Feb 15, 2022: Notifications
April 1, 2022: Early registration opens
