In 2014, Eitan Grossman and Ira Noveck organized a first roundtable “Historical linguistics meets experimental pragmatics” in Jerusalem, which brought together researchers working on pragmatic approaches to language change and on experimental pragmatics. This triggered discussion of potential links between semantic change that is motivated by pragmatic principles on the one hand and the processing of pragmatic operations on the other hand.
We would like to host another meeting in this tradition, bringing together historical linguists and experimentally oriented researchers with the aim of exchanging ideas and hypotheses from the different disciplines and identifying areas of interest for joined research. Semantic but also grammatical change has been associated with principles of language use; for example meaning alternations may start out within a focused group of users and the initially specialized meaning may, across time, be adopted by the entire speech community (Koch 2004). These different stages of dispersion and language use may be reflected in the underlying processes (cf. Schumacher 2013, 2015 for lexicalized vs. ad-hoc alternations). Psycholinguistic investigation may also inform the directionality of semantic change (Jäger & Rosenbach 2008). The interplay between linguistic form, pragmatic function and language processing may thus open up new avenues for the study of language in use from which both disciplines (historical pragmatics and experimental pragmatics) may benefit.
Workshop organized as part of the SPP 1727 "XPrag.de: New Pragmatic Theories based on Experimental Evidence" in Cologne, Germany, November 14-15, 2016.

9. [S]TaPs: 9. Sprachwissenschaftliche Tagung für Promovierende in Köln 05.-08.10.2016
Language, Music & Cognition – Workshop 27.-29.09.2012
The Research Group Language, Music, and Cognition kindly invites you to the first workshop on “Language, Music and Cognition: Psychological and neurocognitive modelling of action, perception, processing and learning“ to be held at the University of Cologne in September 2012.
Our goal is to create a productive platform for the exchange of empirical and theoretical insights into human language, communication, and music. Focusing on neurocognitive and psychological research, the workshop will bring together experts in a variety of fields to create a fertile ground for the discussion of ideas on the modelling of verbal and non-verbal human communication, language processing as well as the comparative aspects of music and language.
The workshop focuses on:
- Day I: Syntax and semantics
- Day II: Language and music
- Day III: Prosody, sign language, and gesture
