Call for CogSci Posters
HOWL — the Hopkins Workshop on Language — is
for the first time inviting submissions for a poster
session to accompany its annual workshop, which this year
will take on the topic of non-local dependencies. The two
days of the workshop will focus, respectively, on
dependencies in phonology and syntax. The posters will
complement the presentations of the invited scholars, who
will debate their ideas from the perspectives of
theoretical linguistics, acquisition, processing,
breakdown, computation and neural representation.
For details about writing and submitting abstracts, go
to
www.cogsci.jhu.edu.
Submissions are due Nov. 15; applicants will be notified by
Dec. 1. HOWL 3 is scheduled for Jan. 14 and 15 on the
Homewood campus.
