Call for submissions: Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science (RAILS)
The 2
nd Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science (RAILS) will be held in Saarbruecken, Germany, 13-15 February 2025. The central theme of this conference is rational communication,
i.e. the idea that language users continuously strive to optimize their means of communication to effectively convey their intended messages. RAILS brings together research on (1) how interlocutors process and update information in diverse situational contexts,
(2) how language use is adapted to certain contexts and intended referents, and (3) how linguistic and conceptual information is stored and maintained in short- and long-term memory.
We invite submissions from researchers across the language sciences – including speech science, theoretical linguistics, empirical linguistics, psycholinguistics and neuroscience, computational linguistics, as well as language development, change and evolution
– who apply rational probabilistic explanations to linguistic phenomena, or bring novel experimental findings to bear on such accounts.
Keynote speakers:
Mark Dingemanse (Radboud University)
Richard Futrell (University of California, Irvine)
Adele Goldberg (Princeton University)
Rachel Ryskin (University of California, Merced)
