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. The conference site is easily accessible by shuttle from the

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

** CALL FOR ATTENDANCE **
Oxford Summer School on Connectionist Modelling
Department of Experimental Psychology,
University of Oxford
19 - 31 July 1998
Applications are invited for participation in a 2-week
residential Summer School on techniques in connectionist
modelling. The course is aimed primarily at researchers who
wish to exploit neural network models in their teaching and/or
research and it will provide a general introduction to
connectionist modelling, biologically plausible neural networks
and brain function through lectures and exercises on Macintoshs
and PCs. The course is interdisciplinary in content though many
of the illustrative examples are taken from cognitive and
developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. The
instructors with primary responsibility for teaching the course
are Kim Plunkett and Edmund Rolls.
No prior knowledge of computational modelling will be required
though simple word processing skills will be assumed.
Participants will be encourages to start work on their own
modelling projects during the Summer School.
The cost of participation in the Summer School is =A3950 for
Faculty and =A3750 for Graduate Students. This figure covers the=20
cost of accommodation (bed and breakfast at St. John's College),
registration and all literature required for the Summer School.
Participants will be expected to cover their own travel and meal
costs. A small number of partial bursaries will be available for
graduate students. Applicants should indicate whether they wish
to be considered for a graduate student scholarship but are
advised to seek their own funding as well, since in previous
years the number of graduate student applications has far
exceeded the number of scholarships available.
