Updated Call for Abstracts CUNY '98

by Suzanne Stevenson

**** Please note clarification in "WHAT TO SUBMIT" below. **** CALL FOR ABSTRACTS DEADLINE: November 7, 1997 11th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing Hosted by Rutgers University March 19-21, 1998 Featuring a Special Session on The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues INVITED SPEAKERS: Joan Bresnan, Stanford University Beth Levin, Northwestern University Mitch Marcus, University of Pennsylvania Jerry Fodor, Rutgers University DISCUSSANTS: Mark Johnson, Brown University Amy Weinberg, University of Maryland Maryellen MacDonald, University of Southern California ABSTRACT DEADLINE: November 7, 1997 The 11th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing is soliciting abstracts for papers and posters presenting theoretical, experimental, and/or computational research on human sentence processing. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously and will be considered for both the general conference sessions and for a special session on The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues. SPECIAL SESSION: Lexical influences on processing are currently a major focus of attention in research on sentence comprehension, yet much of the work remains isolated from investigations of the lexicon in other disciplines. The special session, The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues, will examine current theories of lexical representation from a multidisciplinary perspective, relating the issues raised to current work on sentence comprehension. The focus of the session will be presentations by invited speakers from linguistics, computer science, and philosophy, with critical commentary and discussion from researchers within the sentence processing community. The special session will also include submitted papers and posters on the topic of the role of the lexicon in sentence processing. Abstracts that are considered for the special session will be evaluated both for the quality of the research and for the fit between the submitted abstract and the invited papers. SUBMISSION DEADLINES: For consideration in the spoken paper sessions: November 7, 1997. For consideration as a poster only: January 12, 1998 WHAT TO SUBMIT: Abstracts must be text only (ASCII), no more than 400 words in length, excluding references. Please do not submit MIME encoded email or non-ascii output of a word processing program. At the top of the abstract, please include your name, email address, and indicate whether your abstract is to be considered for PAPER ONLY, POSTER ONLY, or PAPER OR POSTER. The last category means that you would be willing to present a poster if your abstract is not included in the spoken sessions but is accepted for one of the poster sessions. Please leave several blank lines between this information and your title and abstract, so that we may remove this information for anonymous abstract review. Abstracts submitted but not accepted for the paper sessions will automatically be included in the submissions for poster sessions, unless the abstract is marked PAPER ONLY. WHERE TO SUBMIT: We will accept email submissions only. Email your submissions to cuny(a)ruccs.rutgers.edu Please use "Abstract" as your subject header. If you are submitting more than one abstract, each must be separately emailed. You will receive an email acknowledgment for each abstract you submit. If you are unable to use email to submit your abstract, you must contact the organizers for instructions on submitting a PC-readable disk with the required information and abstract. CONFERENCE DATES AND LOCATION: The conference will be held on March 19-21, 1998, at the Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, New Jersey, adjacent to the Rutgers University campus.

Re: conference call

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS We are happy to announce a conference and workshop on Multidisciplinary Colloquium on Rules and Rule-Following: Philosophy, Linguistics and Psychology between April 30-May 1-2, 1998 at Janus Pannonius University Pecs, Hungary Keynote speakers (who have already accepted invitation): philosophy: Gyoergy Kampis Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest linguistics: Pierre-Yves Raccah Idl-CNRS, Paris psychology: Csaba Pleh Dept. of General Pschology Lorand Eoetvoes University, Budapest Organizing Committee: Laszlo Tarnay (JPTE, Dep. of Philosophy) Laszlo I. Komlosi (ELTE, Dept. of Psychology) Andras Bocz (JPTE, Dept. of English Studies) e-mail: tarnay(a)btk.jpte.hu; komlosi(a)btk.jpte.hu; bocz(a)btk.jpte.hu Advisory Board: Gabor Forrai (Budapest) Gyoergy Kampis (Budapest) Mike Harnish (Tucson) Andras Kertesz (Debrecen) Kuno Lorenz (Saarbruecken) Pierre-Yves Raccah (Paris) Janos S. Petifi (Macerata) Aims and scopes: The main aim of the conference is to bring together cholars from the field of cognitive linguistics, philosophy and psychology to investigate the concept of rule and to address various aspects of rule-following. Ever since Wittgenstein formulated in Philosophical investigations his famous 201 concerning a kind of rule-following which is not an interpretation, the concept of rule has become a key but elusive idea in almost every discipline and approach. And not only in the human sciences. No wonder, since without this idea the whole edifice of human (and possibly all other kinds of) rationality would surely collapse. With the rise of cognitive science, and especially the appearance of connectionist models and networks, however, the classical concept of rule is once again seriously contested. To put it very generally, there is an ongoing debate between the classical conception in which rules appear as a set of formulizable initial conditions or constraints on external operations linking different successive states of a given system (algorithms) and a dynamic conception in which there is nothing that could be correlated with a prior idea of internal well-formedness of the system's states. The debate centers on the representability of rules: either they are conceived of as meta-representations, or they are mere faon de parler concerning the development of complex systems. Idealizable on the one hand, while token-oriented on the other. Something to be implemented on the one hand, while self-controlling, backpropagational processing, on the other. There is however a common idea that almost all kinds of rule-conceptions address: the problem of learning. This idea reverberates from wittgenstenian pragmatics to strategic non-verbal and rule-governed speech behavior, from perceiving similarities to mental processing. Here are some haunting questions: - How do we acquire knowledge if there are no regularities in the world around us? - But how can we perceive those regularities? - And how do we reason on the basis of that knowledge if there are no observable constraints on infererring? - But if there are, where do they come from and how are they actually implemented mentally? - And finally: how do we come to act rationally, that is, in accordance with what we have perceived, processed and inferred? We are interested in all ways of defining rules and in all aspects of rule following, from the definiton of law, rule, regularity, similarity and analogy to logical consequence, argumentational and other inferences, statistical and linguistic rules, practical and strategic reasoning, pragmatic and praxeological activities. We expect contribution from the following reseach fields: game-theory, action theory, argumentation theory, cognitive science, linguitics, philosophy of language, epistemology, pragmatics, psychology and semiotics. We would be happy to include some contributions from natural sciences such as neuro-biology, physiology or brain sciences. The conference is organized in three major sections: philosophy, psychology and linguistics with three keynote lectures. Then contributions of 30 minutes (20 for paper and 10 for discussion) follow. We also plan to organize a workshop at the end of each section. Abstracts: Abstracts should be one-page (maximum 23 lines) specifying area of contribution and the particular aspect of rule-following to be addressed. Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to tarnay(a)btk.jpte.hu or bocz(a)btk.jpte.hu. Hard copies of abstracts may be sent to: Laszlo Tarnay Department of Philosphy Janus Pannonius University H-7624 Pecs, Hungray. Important dates: Deadline for submission: Jan.-15, 1998 Notification of acceptance: Febr.-28, 1998 conference: April 30-May 1-2, 1998
