Conference Programme
UPDATE: Due to the recent tragic events which have taken place in the United States, and the repurcussions for international travel, the following talks have been cancelled:
Chang: From single words to productive morphosyntax: Modelling the acquisition of grammatical constructions
Elman: Usage based approaches to language: Beyond statistics [invited talk]
Frazier, Cook, Carminati, & Rayner: Semantic evaluation of syntactic structure
Novick & Trueswell: Nipping spoken garden-paths in the bud: Lexical Priming of argument structure during auditory language comprehension
Lovric, Bradley, & Fodor: Overt prosody and ambiguity resolution in silent reading
Merlo & Stevenson: Unsupervised learning of verb classes from lexical statistics
Yee & Sedivy: Do eye-movements reflect the spread of semantic activation during spoken word recognition
The following reserve talks will now be presented:
Altmann: Grammar learning by adults, infants, and neural networks: A case study [invited talk]
Featherstone: Object coreference in German: Grammar without exposure
Muckel & Pechman: Trace identification in German: (When) Is it real?
