Psycho- and neurolinguistic approaches to the
grammar-lexicon distinction
Will
be held 1 October - 3 October 2015
At
the University of Copenhagen, in Copenhagen, Denmark
The
distinction between lexical and grammatical expressions can be traced
all the way back to Aristotle. Nowadays it can be explored from many
different perspectives. The aim of this workshop is to bring together
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, linguistics and other disciplines
to discuss the distinction between grammar and lexicon. The workshop
covers the following topics:
- Various experimental methods of studying
grammar and lexicon distinction (e.g. behavioural, EEG, fMRI,
etc.)
- Language perception as well as production in
all modalities (writing, speaking, reading, listening)
We
invite abstracts for 20 minute presentations (+ 10 minutes for
discussion) on the grammar-lexicon distinction from the perspective of
either:
·
Healthy language
perception or production,
·
Impaired language
perception or production
In
addition, there will be several keynote speaks:
·

Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language- Second
edition of IWORDD: International Workshop On Reading and Developmental
Dyslexia.
As
part of its scientific activities, the Basque Center on Cognition,
Brain and Language (www.bcbl.eu) with
the UPV-EHU are pleased to announce the second edition of IWORDD:
International Workshop On Reading and Developmental Dyslexia.
Our
aim with this workshop is to promote exchange of ideas between
world-class dyslexia experts through talks and round tables, and
facilitate transfer of knowledge between practitioners and scientists.
The
ultimate goal is to understand the causes of dyslexia and improve
detection protocols and remediation techniques.
IWORDD
will take place from Thursday May 5th to Saturday May 7th 2016 in
Bilbao, Spain.
The
workshop is split into two parts, each of which should be registered
for separately.
In
order to secure your place for this event, please REGISTER as
soon as possible as the NUMBER
OF PLACES IS LIMITED.
CONFERENCE
PROGRAM. Part One: IWORDD -- Theoretical
Perspectives (May 5 and 6)
For
each of the two first days, the invited experts will discuss their
perspectives on one hot theoretical issue of great interest for the
current state of the field. More particularly, this edition of IWORDD
will focus on featuring research investigating reading and its
disorders using cutting-edge neuroimaging approaches. The invited
speakers will address the issue of the neurogenetic bases of
developmental dyslexia (May 5) and of the remediation of developmental
dyslexia and the related brain changes (May 6). The following renowned
speakers in the field will contribute to the high quality of IWORDD via
a dynamic format centered around keynote lectures and round tables.
This will be complemented by talks and poster presentations selected
from abstract submissions. Note that the language for these two days
will be English.
