![]() Changing Boundaries: The Second International Workshop on Language and Brain (CB2024)Date: 18-Oct-2024 - 21-Oct-2024 Abstract submission address: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/CB2024/ Contact Person: Aini He Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Neurolinguistics; Syntax Call Deadline: 10-Sep-2024 Submission address: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/CB2024/ Meeting Description: The "Changing Boundaries: The Second International Workshop on Language and Brain" (for convenience, we use CB 2024 as the short form of the conference) is an online workshop dedicated to investigating the profound relationship between language and the human brain. This event honors the significant contributions of Professor Noam Chomsky to the field of linguistics and cognitive neuroscience. In light of ongoing debates sparked by advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, we invite researchers to submit their studies that provide empirical evidence or theoretical frameworks related to the faculty of language as it pertains to the human brain. Key Topics of Interest: 1. Chomsky’s theory regarding language and the human brain Call for Papers: Changing Boundaries: The Second International Workshop on Language and Brain We are excited to announce the "Changing Boundaries: The Second International Workshop on Language and Brain" (for convenience, we use CB 2024 as the short form of the conference), an online workshop dedicated to investigating the profound relationship between language and the human brain. This event honors the significant contributions of Professor Noam Chomsky to the field of linguistics and cognitive neuroscience. In light of ongoing debates sparked by advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, we invite researchers to submit their studies that provide empirical evidence or theoretical frameworks related to the faculty of language as it pertains to the human brain. Keynote and Invited Speakers: We are honored to feature the following distinguished keynote and invited speakers: Submission Guidelines: We welcome original research papers, case studies, and theoretical contributions on the topics outlined above. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF via EasyAbs only. Each submission must comply with the conference formatting guidelines, as follows: Important Dates: Note: The conference is online and free of charge. We eagerly anticipate your contributions and look forward to an engaging and thought-provoking workshop exploring the boundaries of language and brain sciences.

Organizing Committee of CB2024 Mapping Syntax - Universals, Variation, Acquisition, and Change This year marks 25 years since the publication of Luigi Rizzi's (1997) 'The Fine Structure of the Left Periphery', one of the foundational works of the cartographic enterprise (cf. i.a. also Belletti 1990, Cardinaletti 1997, and Cinque 1999), a research programme which has had a profound and enduring influence on linguistic research regarding language universals, variation, acquisition, and change (see Cinque and Rizzi 2009 and Shlonsky 2010 for recent overviews). To mark the 25th anniversary of Rizzi (1997), a workshop will take place in Oxford from the 16th to 18th of November. The aims of the workshop are to consider the major achievements of the cartographic enterprise over the last three decades and to provide a forum for presenting novel research which showcases the enduring potential of cartography in the decades to come. The workshop will have keynote talks from the following invited speakers: Professor Adriana Belletti (University of Siena) Professor Cristiano Chesi (IUSS Pavia) Professor Guglielmo Cinque (University Ca' Foscari Venice) Professor Naama Friedmann (University of Tel Aviv) Professor Cecilia Poletto (Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, University of Padua) Professor Luigi Rizzi (Collège de France) Professor Fuzhen Si (Beijing Language and Culture University) For more details of this workshop, please visit https://www.ling-phil.ox.ac.uk/mapping-syntax ![]()
