This two-day workshop will bring together different perspectives on event cognition, joining forces from the fields of (psycho-)linguistics and language typology (including multimodal communication), neuroscience (perception, action and memory) and developmental science. We aim to identify general principles in event cognition shaped by our underlying neurobiological and cognitive infrastructure, and the domains in which the human capacity for language(taking into account cross-linguistic diversity and multimodality) may influence event perception and understanding.
The workshop will be organized in thematic sessions, with invited lectures and discussions by renowned scholars, plus a poster session. Confirmed invited speakers Gerry Altmann (University of Connecticut) Silvia Gennari (University of York) Sarah Gerson (Cardiff University) Peter Hagoort (MPI & Donders) Angeliek van Hout (University of Groningen) Yuki Kamide (University of Dundee) Anna Papafragou (University of Delaware) Brent Strickland (ENS & Institut Jean Nicod) Christiane von Stutterheim (Heidelberg University) Jeffrey Zacks (Washington University, St. Louis) Call for submissions We invite submissions of anonymous abstracts for paper or poster presentations on recent work on one or more of the workshop themes. We also welcome submissions for poster presentations on ongoing work or new project proposals. Submissions should be in Word or PDF format, maximally 500 words (excluding references), and sent to [email protected] Abstract submission deadline: ** June 15, 2017 ** (extended) Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2017 Workshop dates: October 27-28, 2017 Location: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands Workshop organizers: Monique Flecken (MPI) Ercenur Ünal (Radboud & MPI) Aslı Özyürek (Radboud & MPI) Website: http://www.mpi.nl/events/evrep We gratefully acknowledge funding by the MPI for Psycholinguistics and by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) (VICI grant).
