Parallel Session on Language, Mind and Brain will be held at the 18th International Congress of Linguists (CIL 18). For more information, visit the website (http://www.cil18.org ) or contact the organizer at gary.libben@ualberta.ca.

Description:


The past few years have seen substantial advances in the use of brain imaging techniques, ERP studies, and computational modeling to test hypotheses concerning how language is represented and processed in the mind/brain.  We have also seen a trend toward the development of many more points of contact among the research methods and perspectives employed by theoretical, experimental, clinical, and computational researchers.  This session on Language Mind, and Brain, will have ‘crossroads’ as its theme.  It will include theoretical, experimental, computational, and case-study reports that advance our understanding of language representation and processing in the mind/brain and explore the implications of findings across subdisciplines.  The session will highlight reports of completed research in language processing as well as new approaches to the study of language processing, and to the interface of linguistics, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience.  The session will provide a forum for the exchange of knowledge concerning, in particular, the extent to which research techniques and research findings are generalizable across languages, speaker populations, and language processing tasks.
