Workshop Support: Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics, to be held May 2-4, 2003, Ithaca, NY

在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，认知语言学经验方法研讨会汇集了来自世界各地的语言学家和心理学家（加上36名选定的研究生）。 由Michael Spivey博士组织的研讨会展示了认知语言学中最先进的实证方法。 认知语言学的研究突破了传统，认为语言不是大脑的一种功能。 语言与感知、行动和认知交织在一起，所有这些都与语言习得和日常话语有关。该研讨会由10个教师主导的会议组成，包括自然语言语料库的统计分析指导和实验室协议的实践培训（例如口头协议，反应时间任务，眼动追踪，神经成像）。 其目的是交叉授粉的语言学和心理学的学科。 讲习班的明确目标是灌输共享的知识研究策略，允许在如何进行语言的重要研究共享直觉。 为此，其中一个会议专门关注国际合作的后勤和基础设施。研讨会的知识价值包括前所未有的实验方法和解决方案的分享，以及对研究生培训的关注。 除了全体会议的发言人伦纳德塔尔米博士外，一长串备受尊敬的认知语言学家和实验心理学家将作为会议领导者和参与者参加。研讨会的更广泛的影响包括语言学家和心理学家之间形成新的国际和跨学科合作的结构化机会，以及培养研究生的独特机会。

With National Science Foundation support, the Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics Workshop brings together a large group of linguists and psychologists from around the world (plus three-dozen selected graduate students). Thw workshop, organized by Dr. Michael Spivey, demonstrates state-of-art empirical methods in Cognitive Linguistics. The research progrm of Cognitive Linguistics breaks from tradition with it's claim that language is NOT an encapsulated function of the mind. Language intertwines with perception, action, and cognition, all of which hsape language acquistion and ordinary discourse.The workshop consists of 10 faculty-led sessions that include instruction in statistical analyses of natural langage corpora and hands-on training in laboratory protocols (e.g. verbal protocol, reaction-time tasks, eye-tracking, neuroimaging). The purpose is to cross-pollinate the disciplines of Linguistics and Psychology. The explicit goal of the workshop is to instill shared knowledge research strategies allows for shared intuitions in how to conduct impirical studies of language. To that end, one session focuses exclusively on the logistics and infrasturcture of international collaborations.INTELLECTUAL MERITS of the workshop include an unprecedented sharing of experimental methods and solutions and a focus on training of graduate students. In additon to the plenary speaker, Dr. Leonard Talmy, a long list of highly respected cognitive linguists and experimental psychologists will be attending as session-leaders and as particpants.BROADER IMPACTS of the workshop include structured opportunities to form new international and interdisciplinary collaborations between linguists and psychologists and a unique opportunity for training of graduate students.
