Welcome to Berlin, and Titanic Hotel Chaussee Berlin, the venue of AMLaP 2018!

AMLaP 2018 unites experimental, computational, and theoretical perspectives on the mechanisms implicated in human language processing. Contributions  which explicitly relate experimental findings to computational mechanisms are especially encouraged. We also encourage contributions that bring together different methodological approaches (e.g., response times, eye tracking, EEG, corpora, fMRI and any combination of these and related approaches).

Topics relevant to the conference include (but are not limited to):

1. •language comprehension
   

2. •language production
   

3. •computational models (language comprehension, production, symbolic and connectionist)
   

4. •corpus-based studies and statistical mechanisms
   

5. •language acquisition and learning
   

6. •cross-linguistic studies
   

7. •dialogue processing
   

8. •discourse
   

9. •lexical processing
   

10. •learning mechanisms
    

11. •models of acquisition
    

12. •neurobiology of language processing
    

13. •parsing and interpretation
    

14. •prosody
    

Berlin is an exciting city to visit. Its population is around 3.7 million and is steadily growing. It is home to four large universities, three of which together are home to 100000 students. Among them is the Humboldt University (with approximately 33000 students, https://www.hu-berlin.de ) as the host of this year’s AMLaP (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin for more information).

We are happy to welcome four exciting keynote speakers to AMLaP 2018!

Sonja Kotz (Maastricht University, The Netherlands)

Asifa Majid (Radboud Unitersity, The Netherlands)

Matthew W. Crocker (Saarland University, Germany)
