This proposal requests NSF funding to support students and distinguished speakers for a special session on sentence processing at the CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing to be held in March 2009 at the University of California, Davis. To understand how people speak and comprehend language, researchers need to consider how speaking and comprehension influence each other. Currently, language researchers tend to treat understanding and speaking as separate phenomena, and they build separate theories to handle the two domains. Although substantial progress has been made in developing theories of language understanding and speech even when the two are investigated separately, a better understanding is possible if researchers consider how production affects comprehension and vice versa. The immediate goal of this project is to foster communication between researchers who study production and researchers who study comprehension with the further goals of 1) encouraging and developing collaboration between researchers in language comprehension and language production, 2) advancing linguistic and psycholinguistic theory by encouraging researchers to include connections between comprehension and production in their models, and 3) to promote research that integrates concepts from production and comprehension so that the resulting theories provide a more comprehensive description of human language. The CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing is one of the most prominent and successful meetings for researchers interested in experimental psycholinguistics and sentence processing. The proposed special session of the 22nd Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing will create a number of important and unique opportunities for language researchers by bringing them into contact with highly successful scholars whose work bridges the gap between speech and language comprehension. The special session will involve researchers from multiple disciplines to foster interdisciplinary research and promote new and exciting collaborations. The funding will also help graduate students to participate in the meeting in various ways, including reduced fees and opportunities for travel support. Finally, the invited speakers include members of underrepresented minorities.

本提案要求NSF资助学生和杰出的演讲者，以支持2009年3月在加州大学戴维斯分校举行的CUNY人类句子处理会议上的一个关于句子处理的特别会议。为了了解人们如何说话和理解语言，研究人员需要考虑说话和理解是如何相互影响的。目前，语言研究人员倾向于将理解和说话视为独立的现象，他们建立了不同的理论来处理这两个领域。尽管在语言理解和言语理论的发展方面已经取得了实质性的进展，即使这两者是分开研究的，但如果研究人员考虑到生产如何影响理解，反之亦然，就有可能得到更好的理解。该项目的直接目标是促进研究生产和理解的研究人员之间的交流，进一步的目标是：1)鼓励和发展语言理解和语言生产研究人员之间的合作；2)通过鼓励研究人员在他们的模型中包括理解和生产之间的联系来推进语言学和心理语言学理论。3)促进整合生产和理解概念的研究，使由此产生的理论为人类语言提供更全面的描述。纽约市立大学人类句子处理会议是对实验心理语言学和句子处理感兴趣的研究人员最重要和最成功的会议之一。第22届纽约市立大学人类句子处理年会的特别会议将为语言研究人员创造许多重要而独特的机会，使他们能够接触到那些在语音和语言理解之间架起桥梁的非常成功的学者。这次特别会议将有来自多个学科的研究人员参与，以促进跨学科研究，促进新的和令人兴奋的合作。这笔资金还将帮助研究生以各种方式参加会议，包括减少费用和提供旅行支持的机会。最后，邀请的演讲者包括代表性不足的少数民族成员。
