[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: `Processing symbolic numbers with the Discrete Semantic System` by Attila Krajcsi (ELTE Hungary) on Wednesday, February 26, 2020

by Gyorgyne Finta

Dear All, The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its next talk by: Attila Krajcsi (ELTE, Hungary) <https://www.ppk.elte.hu/en/staff/krajcsi-attila> Date: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 - 17:00 - 18:30 Host: Jozsef Fiser Location: CEU Oktober 6 street 7, room 101 Title: " Processing symbolic numbers with the Discrete Semantic System " Abstract: Processing symbolic numbers with the Discrete Semantic System Attila Krajcsi 1, Gábor Lengyel 2, Petia Kojouharova 3 1 Cognitive Psychology Department, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary 2 Department of Cognitive Science, Central European University, Budapest, Hungary 3 Research Centre for Natural Sciences, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology, Budapest, Hungary The widespread Analog Magnitude System model suggests that many effects of basic number processing (such as the distance and the size effects in number comparison, or the number-space interference in parity decision) can be explained by an evolutionarily old, simple representation working according to Weber's law. In an alternative account, we propose that an entirely different architecture model, the Discrete Semantic System can also explain the very same phenomena in symbolic number processing. Additionally, we introduce several new phenomena that can be explained only by the newly proposed model, but not by the classic account. See more at: https://events.ceu.edu/2020-02-26/processing-symbolic-numbers-discrete-sema… We look forward to seeing you there!

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CEU Departmental Colloquium, February 12: Klaus Zuberbühler (University of Neuchâtel) - Primate roots of syntax

by CDC

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk by: Prof. Klaus Zuberbühler (University of Neuchâtel) [ web<https://www.unine.ch/biologie/home/collaborateurs/laboratoire-de-cognition-…> ] Title: Primate roots of syntax Date: Wednesday, 12 February 2020 Time: 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 101 Abstract: How did human communication transition from ancestral, primate-like communication to language? I will examine recent animal communication research for its relevance claims for evolutionary theories of language. Although there is good evidence for combinatorial and even compositional structures in animal communication, these data have not led to a coherent theory of syntax evolution. I explore an alternative theory, the even perception hypothesis, which is grounded in a cognitive propensity to perceive social interactions as possessing an invisible intentional, causal structure. We are looking forward to see you.

[Koglist] HISPhonCog News: 2nd Call for Papers (Due Mach 1st)

by Honbolygó Ferenc

2nd Call for Papers for HISPhonCog 2020 (22-23 May, Seoul) Hanyang International Symposium on Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language 2020 (22-23, May, 2020) - Theme: Linguistic and cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail underlying sound systems and/or sound change - Dates: 22-23 May, 2020 - Venue: Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea - URL: http://site.hanyang.ac.kr/web/hisphoncog/call-for-papers/2020 HIPCS (Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language), together with Department of English Language and Literature, holds its 3rd annual international symposium on current issues on phonetics and cognitive sciences of language (HISPhonCog) 2020 on 22-23 May, 2020. A special theme for HISPhonCog 2020 is ‘linguistic and cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail underlying sound systems and/or sound change.’ We have witnessed over past decades that the severance between phonetics and phonology has been steadily eroding along with the awareness of the importance of scalar and gradient aspects of speech in understanding the linguistic sound system and sound change. In particular, non-contrastive (subphonemic) phonetic events, which had traditionally been understood to be beyond the speaker’s control (as low-level automatic physiological phenomena), have been reinterpreted as part of the grammar. They have turned out to be either systematically linked with phonological contrasts and higher-order linguistic structures or governed by language-specific phonetic rules that make the seemingly cross-linguistically similar phonetic processes distinctive, both of which may in turn serve as driving forces for sound change. Furthermore, we have enjoyed seeing that the investigation of linguistic roles of fine phonetic detail provides insights into phonetic underpinnings of other speech variation phenomena such as socio-linguistically-driven speech variation and effects of native-language experience on production and perception of unfamiliar languages or L2. We invite submissions for the symposium which provide some empirical (experimental) evidence for exploring any issues related to the theme of the symposium under the rubric of linguistic-cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail. We also wish to have a special session on Articulatory Phonology and speech dynamics bearing on the issue of how gradient and categorical aspects of human speech may be combined to serve as a cognitive linguistic unit. We will also consider general submissions that deal with other general issues in speech production and perception in L1 and L2. We also welcome submissions from the neuro-cognitive perspectives. Invited speakers: - Adam Albright (MIT) - Patrice Beddor (U. of Michigan) - Lisa Davidson (New York U.) - John Kingston (U. of Massachusetts, Amherst) - Donca Steriade (MIT) - Andrew Wedel (U. of Arizona) - Douglas Whalen (CUNY and Haskins Laboratories) - Alan Yu (U. of Chicago) (new) Publication of selected papers in a Special Issue on the theme in a journal - Oral presentations and a limited number of selected posters (which are at least loosely related to the themes of the conference under the rubric of linguistic/cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail) will be invited to submit a full manuscript to be considered further for a possible inclusion in a Special Issue in a peer-reviewed international journal - The actual journal has not been decided but we are considering one of the followings subject to final approval from a targeted journal: Journal of Phonetics, Laboratory Phonology, Language and Speech, Phonetica, Frontiers in Psychology, The Linguistic Review, etc. - Note that each selected paper will undergo standard editorial/review processes which may eventually lead to its exclusion (rejection). Support for international participants (free accommodation) - Free local hotel accommodation (one room for up to 3 nights per presentation) for international presenters affiliated with a foreign institute/university, travelling from abroad. (The detail will be sent to qualified individuals along with an acceptance letter.) FREE Registration Fees - Free banquet, munches for breakfast, refreshments and the conference handbook - Note: Attendees will have to pay (optionally) for lunches (10 USD or 10,000 KRW for each lunch). Timeline - Deadline of submission of a two-page long abstract: March 1, 2020 - Notification of Acceptance: No later than March 20, 2020 - Free Registration with free accommodation: No later than April 10, 2020 - Satellite Workshop (if organized): May 21, 2020 - Symposium dates: May 22-23, 2020 Abstract Submission Instruction: March 1 (EasyChair) - A PDF file of a two-page abstract (single-spaced with 12 pt font size *without* a list of authors’ names and their affiliations) should be submitted through EasyChair by March 1, 2020. - URL for EasyChair: https://easychair.org/cfp/hisphoncog2020 (If the link does not work, please check http://site.hanyang.ac.kr/web/hisphoncog for an update.) Free Registration by April 10 - Pre-registration should be made by no later than April 10, 2020 to be guaranteed for free accommodation (for international presenters) and free registration (for all foreign and domestic participants and audience). - Pre-registration form that arrives after April 10 may still be considered for free registration and accommodation, depending on the budget and availability. Please contact us at hanyang.hipcs(a)gmail.com if you miss the deadline but still would like to register in advance. - On-site registration will be possible for small fees, but with no guarantee for lunches and banquet admission. - For further information about how to register, please check the website later.
