Announcement
Slavic languages have become an attractive object for psycholingustic analysis, as recent studies on language processing and on language acquisition show. Psycholinguistic methods are multi-faceted and elaborate, but are often conceived of with Germanic languages in mind, and English in particular. How can Slavists still manage to make use of these methods for their own inquiries? Can exemplary studies, e.g. on English, be directly applied to Slavic languages, which have their own grammatical and morphological peculiarities?
We hope that our workshop will bring together linguists who study Slavic languages from the perspective of psycholinguistics. The focus will be on the methods, especially concerning activities in which speakers complete formally defined tasks (e.g. making judgments or decisions, reading activities, etc.) The workshop is intended to promote methodological exchange, to provide an overview over the various methods that are used, and to address the specific problems associated with them.
Keynotes Denisa Bordag (Leipzig), Tatiana V. Chernigovskaya (St. Petersburg), Barbara Mertins (Heidelberg), Roumyana Slabakova (Southampton)
