Workshop this October in Copenhagen, DenmarkPsycho- and Neurolinguistic Approaches to the Grammar-Lexicon Distinction The workshop will be held October 1-3, 2015 at the University of Copenhagen The distinction (or lack thereof) between lexical and grammatical knowledge can be traced all the way back to Aristotle. Nowadays it is being explored from many different perspectives with many different methodological approaches. The aim of this multi-disciplinary workshop is to bring together psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, linguistics and other disciplines to examine grammar and lexicon in the mind and brain. The workshop will cover: - Various experimental methods for studying grammar and lexicon (e.g. behavioural, EEG/ERP, fMRI, TMS, other...) - Both receptive and expressive aspects of grammar/lexicon, across modalities (writing, speaking, reading, listening) - Grammar and lexicon in both unimpaired and impaired populations (e.g., Specific Language Impairment, dyslexia, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, aphasia, other...).
