CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE AND COGNITION IN VANCOUVER

We have been asked to spread the word about a conference to be held in Vancouver between April 24th and April 26th 2015. Sponsored by the Department of Philosophy at Simon Fraser University, the title of the conference is Language at the Interface and the invited speakers include Peter Carruthers (Maryland), Wolfram Hinzen (Barcelona and Durham), Friederike Moltmann(CNRS and NYU), and Anna Papafragou (Delaware). Detailed information is available here but in brief the aim of the workshop is to explore a wide range of questions at the intersection of linguistics, psychology, and philosophy that might be raised in connection with the place of language in the architecture of the mind. The organizers (Ashley Atkins (SFU) and James Martin(Princeton/SFU)) invite 1—-2 page abstracts on any topic related to the language-mind interface, broadly construed. The abstract submission deadline is January 15, 2015. Anonymized abstracts should be sent to latkins@sfu.ca; the email message should include personal information (name, institution, contact information). More information is available at the conference website.
