Workshop on Experimental Linguistics 2008

This ISCA Workshop on Experimental Linguistics 2008 is a follow up to the ISCA Workshop on Experimental Linguistics, held in Athens, Greece, 25-27 August 2008. The Workshop aims to bring together professionals working with language in different settings and to promote discussion and exchange of ideas on approaches to the study of language. Main areas of concern will be: (1) the use of experimental methodologies for the production of linguistic knowledge, (2) the effects of different factors, such as lexical, prosodic and syntactic ones, as well as interactions between factors with reference to linguistic structures and the organisation of language (3) the relation between sound and meaning as a function of linguistic categories and structures. The Workshop will focus on experimental and interdisciplinary approaches with the ultimate objective of boosting international research and collaboration.
