The langu age sciences increasingly have in common their ado ption of rational probabilistic approaches, such a s Bayesian, Information Theoretic, and Game Theore tic frameworks. The goal of this conference is to bring together speech and language researchers who se scientific contributions reflect the full diver sity of disciplines and methodologies - from speec h to discourse, on-line processing to corpus-based investigation, through to language change and evo lution - that have benefited from, and share, such rational explanations.
\n\nKeynote speake rs: Gerhard Jaeger (Tuebingen University), Gina Ku perberg (Tufts University), Hannah Rohde (Universi ty of Edinburgh) and Rory Turnbull (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa).
\nWe there fore seek submissions from across the language sci ences - including speech science, theoretical ling uistics, empirical linguistics, psycholinguistics and neuroscience, computational linguistics, as we ll as language development, change and evolution - which apply rational probabilistic explanations t o linguistic phenomena, or bring novel experimenta l findings to bear on such accounts.
\n\nS ubmissions in the form of 400 word abstracts are t o be submitted electronically. Submission will be considered for either oral or poster presentation.
