Dear All,
The Language Comprehension Lab cordially invites you to the following talk by:
Peter W. Culicover, Ohio State University, USA
Date: Thursday, Nov 6, 2025
Time: 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM
Venue: Language Comprehension Lab (QS D513)
Title: Constructional Reflections
Abstract: My overarching goal is to seek explanations of why human languages are the way they are. A constructional approach sharpens this question along the following lines. (i) Where do constructions come from? (ii) Why do constructions take the form that they have? (iii) What kinds of constructions exist in natural language? (iv) Why are some logically possible constructions (quasi-)universal, and others not, and others apparently non-existent?
In past work, I have offered a range of assumptions, intuitions, and speculations about these questions. In this talk, I will explore some of them, focusing on the possible empirical consequences of three ideas: (i) The Force, which promotes (or ‘pushes for’) the expression of all aspects of meaning using linguistic form. (ii) Economy, the assumption that grammars are organized to (more-or-less) efficiently express aspects of meaning, especially the conceptual core. (iii) The Bottleneck, which severely restricts the range of meanings that can be encoded in a single linguistic expression.
Peter W. Culicover is a Professor Emeritus at the Ohio State University, where he served as the founding Director of the Center for Cognitive Science (1989-2003) and as Chair of the Department of Linguistics (1998-2006). His research primarily focuses on understanding and explaining the syntactic structure of human languages. He has explored various topics, including language learnability, computational modeling of language acquisition and language change, the grammar of focus, grammatical constructions, the grammar of contemporary English, and the architecture of grammar.
Kind regards,
Attila

Dear colleagues,
The iSearch lab at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is advertising a position for a Doctoral Candidate or Postdoctoral Researcher. This is an open-topic position for doctoral or postdoctoral researchers who wish to pursue their own research ideas within the broad thematic areas of the lab. Rather than focusing on a predefined project, the position offers the opportunity to develop and conduct independent research that aligns with the lab’s interests in active learning, information search, decision-making, and cognition from a developmental perspective.
The iSearch lab's research is dedicated to various facets of cognitive development and learning processes in children. We employ a multidisciplinary approach that integrates methods from psychology, education, and technology to understand and enhance children's learning experiences, in particular the active learning strategies that they employ in dynamically changing environments.
The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Prof. Ruggeri and an interdisciplinary, international team, contributing to a creative and supportive research environment. We especially welcome applicants whose research ideas or methodological expertise bring new perspectives or complement existing projects, further advancing the lab’s mission to understand how humans learn, decide, and explore.
The advertised doctoral position will be based in Munich, Germany, and will be funded for a duration of 36 months for a Doctoral Candidate, or 24 months (with a possible extension of 12 months) for a Postdoctoral Researcher. The deadline for application is 23 November 2024. The position can be filled from February to May 2026.
Please see the advertisement below for more details, and please share it with potentially interested parties.

Dear All,
The Department of Cognitive and Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Pécs, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, together with the ViCE LAB research group, is pleased to announce the Exploring Trends in Cognitive Science (EXP26) international conference, to be held on February 5–6, 2026.
The aim of the event is to showcase the latest Hungarian and international research directions in cognitive psychology, and to provide a platform for scientific discourse and the strengthening of research collaborations.
A key goal of the conference is to highlight the diverse and dynamic research trends shaping the field of cognitive science, while fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration between institutions and research groups. The event offers an excellent opportunity for researchers from Hungary and abroad to present their findings, share methodological insights, and lay the groundwork for future joint projects.
In addition to keynote lectures and thematic sessions, the program will include an online preconference methodological workshop (February 4, 2026) focusing on the foundations of Bayesian statistics.
Thanks to its interdisciplinary scope, the conference will feature not only classical topics in cognitive psychology but also research from adjacent fields that open up new perspectives for applied studies and innovative projects.
We warmly invite researchers, PhD students, and Master’s students to submit their latest findings, as well as research groups interested in presenting their ongoing work and research areas.
