Meeting Description:

METU-WCCR is a 2-day workshop where researchers give 20-minute presentations,
receiving and giving feedback to other researchers who work on similar
research topics.


Call for Papers:

METU Workshop on Conditional and Causal Reasoning (METU-WCCR)
 
Conditional and causal structures are a central aspect of human reasoning and
language, and have been extensively studied in fields such as linguistics,
psychology, and philosophy. However, there is still much to be learned about
the semantics of conditionals as well as the development and processing of
conditional structures in children.

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the Middle East Technical
University Workshop on Conditional and Causal Reasoning (METU WCCR), which
will be hosted by Middle East Technical University Language and Cognitive
Development Laboratory (METU LCDL). We aim to bring together researchers
working on the semantics of conditional and causal structures as well as their
processing by children and adult populations. 

Keynote speakers
 
- Sabine Iatridou (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
- Magdalena Kaufmann (University of Connecticut)
- Stefan Kaufmann (University of Connecticut) 
- Daniel Lassiter (University of Edinburgh)
 
Workshop Location: Gökova, Muğla-Türkiye. 

Call For Abstracts:

We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines, including but not
limited to linguistics, psychology, philosophy, and education. Potential
topics may include:
 
- Semantics of conditionals and causal discourse markers
- Experimental studies of conditional and causal reasoning in children and
adults
- The neural basis of conditional and causal reasoning
- The role of conditionals and causality in reasoning, decision-making, and
problem-solving
- The relationship between conditionals, causality, logic, and other aspects
of cognition
- Cross-linguistic variation in the expression and interpretation of
conditionals
 
Abstract Format
Abstracts should be no more than 500 words (with an extra page for the
references, tables/figures, and examples).

Important Dates 
Deadline for abstract submission: January 25, 2023. 
Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2023. 
Workshop date: March 22nd and 23rd, 2023.

Workshop Format: The workshop will be in a hybrid-format for the keynote
speakers (some will join us online). Participants who do not have a
presentation can join online or in person; all other presenters are expected
to attend in person. Each presenter will have 20 minutes for their
presentation.
 
Organizers: Duygu Özge, Ecenur Çağırıcı, Asuman Şimşek, Fatma Nur Öztürk, Alp
Şehit, Enes Us

Funding: The workshop is funded by The Scientific and Technological Research
Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) by the “1001 - The Scientific and Technological
Research Projects Funding Program” (Project No: 218K184).
