Meeting Description:

We invite submissions for the upcoming conference entitled "Gazing
into Language: Unveiling Cognitive Processes with Eye-Tracking". This
interdisciplinary event aims to explore the diverse applications of
eye-tracking methodologies in linguistics research. Researchers are
encouraged to submit contributions addressing, but not limited to, the
following topics:
    • Eye-tracking studies on language comprehension and production
    • Eye-tracking in discourse analysis and pragmatics
    • Eye movements in bilingualism and language acquisition
    • Cross-linguistic differences in eye gazing patterns
    • Eye-tracking applications in psycholinguistics and
neurolinguistics
    • Technology and methodological advancements in eye-tracking
research
    • Cognitive and computational models using eye-tracking data

Invited keynote: Prof. Kathy Conklin, University of Nottingham.

Call for Papers:

Eye-tracking serves as a powerful tool to uncover the intricate
interplay between language and cognition (Yarbus, 1967; Henderson et
al., 2007; Huettig et al., 2011; Conklin & Pellicer-Sánchez, 2022),
providing a window onto the cognitive processes involved in
understanding and producing language, both at the level of a given
speech community or at the individual level (e.g. when addressing
cognitive (dis)abilities, or linguistic proficiency). By monitoring
eye movements, researchers can examine, in real-time, how attention is
allocated during linguistic tasks, shedding light, for instance, on:
    1. Language processing dynamics for people with language disorder:
Eye-tracking helps identify patterns in gaze behaviour that correspond
to different stages of cognitive processing, including for populations
with language disorders such as aphasia (Dickey, 2007; Yee et al.,
2008) or dyslexia (Desroches et al., 2006; Huettig & Brouwer, 2015).
    2. Lexical and Semantic Access: Studying eye movements reveals the
time course of accessing lexical and semantic information (Sedivy et
al., 1999; De Groot et al., 2016)
    3. Syntactic Processing: Eye-tracking research uncovers the
intricacies of syntactic processing, including how (complex) sentence
structures influence parsing and comprehension (Tanenhaus et al.,
1995; Clifton & Staub, 2011). This also applies to second language
acquisition (e.g., Frenck-Mestre, 2005).
    4. Pragmatic Inferences: Eye-tracking is particularly relevant to
study how context and background knowledge influence language
understanding (Ryskin et al., 2019; Sun & Breheny, 2020)
    5. Discourse Processing: Eye-tracking is used to investigate how
readers or listeners maintain discourse coherence and track
referential expressions (see Altamimi & Conklin (2024) or Robert &
Siyanova (2013) on L2 speakers).
    6. Language Acquisition: Eye-tracking allows researchers to
observe how children and adults process language input differently and
how this develops with language experience (e.g., Ambridge & Rowland,
2013; Joseph et al., 2013; Mani & Huettig, 2014; Tribushinina & Mak,
2016)
    7. Linguistic relativity: Researchers rely on eye-tracking to
measure the cognitive impact of linguistic differences on how the
speakers allocate their visual attention in both verbal and non-verbal
contexts (e.g., as for Motion events, see Hohenstein, 2005; Papafragou
et al., 2008; Soroli & Hickmann, 2010; Soroli et al., 2019; Lesuisse,
2022; Lesuisse & Lemmens, 2023).

Submission Guidelines:
      Abstracts should be no more than 400 words.
      Abstracts should include 3-5 keywords.
      Presentations (20min) can be in English or in French.

Important Dates:
      Abstract Submission Deadline: May, 17th 2024
      Notification of Acceptance: June, 14th 2024
      Conference Date: September, 20th 2024
