[Koglist] Meghívó: Nádasdy Ádám előadása a Nyelvtudományi Intézetben (2016.06.07.)

by Nyelvesz Info

MEGHÍVÓ A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Nyelvtudományi Intézete tisztelettel meghív minden érdeklődőt Nádasdy Ádám (Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem) Az *Isteni Színjáték* magyar fordításának nyelvészeti kérdései című előadására. Időpont: 2016. június 7. (kedd) 15:00 óra Helyszín: MTA NYTI, földszinti előadóterem Absztrakt Nemrég készültem el Dante *Isteni Színjáték*ának új magyar fordításával (Magvető Kiadó, 2016). Előadásomban nyelvészi szememmel tekintek rá fordításom szövegére. Megvizsgálom, milyen mértékben használtam archaizmusokat ("ily", "tán", "pór") illetve neologizmusokat ("grammnyi", "sport", "szorong"). Beszámolok a verselésről, azaz hogy miért a rímtelen drámai jambusban fordítottam a rímes "endecasillabo"-t, s milyen ritmikai-grammatikai megoldásokkal igyekeztem biztosítani a metrikai hatást. A mondattan szintjén megvizsgálom, hogy Dante többnyire 3 soros mondatait (gyakran többszörös alárendeléseket) hogyan próbáltam megoldani. *** http://www.nytud.hu/intprog.html MTA Nyelvtudományi Intézet 1068 Budapest, Benczúr u. 33.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] reminder: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: June 1, Wednesday: Zsuzsanna Schnell (University of Pecs): Social cognition and pragmatic skills - developmental and neurocognitive perspective

by Gyorgyne Finta

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by Zsuzsanna Schnell (University of Pecs, Hungary) Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 - 17:00-18:30 Host: Csaba Pléh Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. Social cognition and pragmatic skills - developmental and neurocognitive perspective The focus of the lecture is twofold: we investigate the role of theory of mind in pragmatic language development, targeting different aspects of non-compositionality and indirectness (simile, metaphor, irony, humor and maxim infringement), tracking the order and cognitive difficulty of their unfolding. The study also investigates the pragmatics of irony processing and contextual effects in schizophrenia. Relying on neuroimaging (fMRI) techniques the research reveals the brain networks involved in social cognition and in non-compositional processing, and confirms theory of mind deficit, along with difficulties in irony comprehension in schizophrenia. We also attempt to identify the area of the Precuneus having an integrative role as the neural correlate of the hypothesized meta-module of pragmatic meaning construction. See more at: http://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2016-06-01/departmental-colloquium-z… We are looking forward to see you there!

[Koglist] Talk on Social Anxiety Disorder

by Dezso Nemeth

The Brain, Memory and Language Lab and Department of Clinical Psychology & Addiction at Eotvos Lorand University cordially invite you to a talk by Eva Gilboa-Schechtman, Bar-Ilan University "A Biopsychosocial Model of Social Anxiety Disorder" Date: Thursday, June 9, 17:00 Location: Institute of Psychology, ELTE Damjanich u. 41-43. Building "C" ROOM 305 Abstract: Theoretical accounts of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) consider enhanced sensitivity to, and impaired regulation of social threat to be at the core of this condition. In this talk I seek to advance a more refined understanding of the types of social threat affecting individuals with SAD. To this end, social threat is examined from the perspective of two systems: the social rank biobehavioral system (SRBS) and the affiliation biobehavioral system (AFBS). I argue that SAD is associated with vulnerability to events signaling loss of social-rank (defeat) and loss of affiliation (exclusion). These events elicit distinct patterns of subjective, cognitive, behavioral, endocrine, physiological, and neural responses. I suggest that SAD is characterized by a (a) hyper-reactivity to both defeat and exclusion; (b) propensity to respond to social defeat by deploying conflict-reducing strategies (down-regulating SRBS); (c) propensity to respond to social exclusion by deploying distancing and withdrawal strategies (down-regulating AFBS), and (d) enhanced linkage of the two systems, with exclusion events activating not only AFBS but also SRBS. This dual-system account is consistent with calls to redefine psychological disorders in terms of basic neuropsychological phenomena. It may help integrate clinically significant information about SAD, especially developmental trajectory, gender differences, and patterns of comorbidity with depression and personality disorders. Exploring the mechanisms needed to obtain and maintain a flexible regulatory repertoire to cope with social challenges may help understand and treat SAD.
