ESLP 2018
We are delighted to invite submissions to the 11th Embodied and Situated Language Processing Conference (ESLP), which will take place in the city of Lancaster (UK) from August 10-12, 2018. ESLP 2018 continues the highly successful international conference series that started in 2007.
Free childcare will be available during the conference. Please see the conference website for more details.
Topics
ESLP covers topics that deal with the interaction of language and sensorimotor processing across a range of disciplines (including cognitive science, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, developmental psychology) and empirical methods (including behavioural, neuropsychological, and computational).
As a focus in the 2018 conference, we particularly welcome submissions that address the fundamental issue of conceptual grounding and how meaning is learned and represented in the mind/brain, as well as submissions that address issues related to methods & reproducibility for embodied cognition research.
Abstract Submission Guidelines
We invite abstract submissions for paper and poster presentations. Abstracts can describe original work, but can also be an opinion or a summary of previous work so long as these are relevant to the topic of the confernece and are of high intellectual and scientific quality. All abstracts will be peer reviewed. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should not contain any tables or figures.
Please submit abstracts via EasyChair no later than 16 April 2018. When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to indicate whether you would like it to be considered for a talk, a poster or either; and whether it is relevant to the special session on methods & reproducibility.
