Meeting Description:

The central theme of this conference is (bounded) rational
communication, i.e. the idea that language users continuously strive
to optimize their means of communication to effectively convey their
intended messages. Thus, rational communication has consequences on
how recipients encode and remember information, and it also impacts
language variation and change.

RAILS will bring together researchers from various fields
investigating how information dynamics, rational communication and
memory interact with language use, variation, and change. We welcome
contributions on (1) how interlocutors process and update information
in diverse situational contexts; (2) how language use is adapted to
certain contexts and intended referents and (3) how linguistic and
conceptual information is stored and maintained in short- and
long-term memory. Ultimately, the goal of the conference is to gain
deeper insights into the complexities of language use and its dynamic
nature in different settings. We invite submissions from researchers
across the language sciences – including speech science, theoretical
linguistics, empirical linguistics, psycholinguistics and
neuroscience, computational linguistics, as well as language
development, change and evolution – who apply rational probabilistic
explanations to linguistic phenomena, or bring novel experimental
findings to bear on such accounts.

Call for Papers:

We accept submissions for posters and/or talks. Talks are slated for
20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions.

Abstracts should be no more than 500 words (Times New Roman size 12,
with one additional page for example, tables, figures and (selected)
references). Titles should be centered at the top of the page, in bold
and upper case.

Please ensure the abstract is fully anonymous: authors’ names or
affiliations should not be indicated anywhere in the document or in
the metadata.
