Workshop
on Dynamic Syntax:
What can the study of head-final
languages contribute to the theory? |

OBJECTIVE
Dynamic Syntax is a grammar formalism based on a modal logic
of finite trees which
attempts to account for typologically diverse linguistic data by incrementally
building
up partial trees. This workshop aims at setting the stage for intensive discussions
on
application of the theory to linguistic data from Japanese and Korean, two archetypal
head-final languages which have been challenging the formal frameworks established
on the basis of Western languages. The topics discussed at the conference will
include
the influence which studies of Japanese and Korean may have on the development
of
Dynamic Syntax. The workshop comprises paper presentations concerning rammar,
neuro-cogntive sentence processing models, and their computational implementation,
as well as a lecture by the founder of the theory, Ruth empson, which is followed
by a free discussion. We welcome the partcipation of an udience with broad interests.

This international workshop, sponsored by the Center for
Cognitive Evolutionary Sciences at the University of Tokyo
and The Technical Group of Thought and Language of The
Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers, invites submissions for paper presentations
in Human Sentence Processing and Production. Studies from
a wide range of perspectives will be considered including,
but not exclusive to, those focusing on behavioral, neural,
corpus data of adults, children, native and L2 speakers.
The language of interest is not limited to Japanese.
Prior to the workshop, Shiko-to Gengo Kenkyuukai (The
meeting of the Technical Group on Thought and Language,
our co-sponsor) will take place on July 14th in the same
building. Presentations are either in Japanese or English.

3rd International Workshop on Evolutionary Cognitive Sciences
Social Cognition
Evolution, Development, and Mechanism |
March 9th (Thu) - 10th (Fri), 2006
Gakusai-Koryu Hall, Administration Office Building 3F,
The University
of Tokyo, Komaba (MAP)
Admission Free
Supported by MIYUKI GIKEN Co., Ltd., SHIMADZU
Corporation, and Japanese Cognitive Science Society.
We will hold an international workshop on social cognition as part of
the 21st century COE program "the Center for Cognitive Evolutionary Sciences at
the
University of Tokyo".
This
workshop focuses on development and evolution of social
cognition in humans and primates, such as self/other recognition,
mother-child interaction, imitation, face recognition, and the theory
of mind. All invited speakers are energetic researchers
in such fields, and they will talk about exciting results of their research.
In addition, a poster session where all participants can exchange their
views on social cognition and related topics will also
be held.
