The Linguistics Research Unit of the Institute of Language and
Communication will be hosting a workshop on 'Measuring linguistic
complexity: A multidisciplinary perspective' on *Friday 24 April, 2015*.
The main objective of the workshop is to bring together specialists from
a number of different but related fields to discuss the construct of
linguistic complexity and how it is typically measured in their
respective research fields.
The event will be structured around keynote presentations by four
distinguished scholars:
·Philippe Blache (CNRS & Universite d'Aix-Marseille, France) :
Linguistic complexity in psycholinguistics
·Alex Housen (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium) : Linguistic
complexity in second language acquisition
·Advaith Siddharthan (University of Aberdeen, UK) : Linguistic
complexity in natural language processing and text simplification studies
·Benedikt Szmrercsanyi (KULeuven, Belgium) : Linguistic complexity in
contrastive linguistics and typology
Details about the event will be made available on the workshop website
http://www.uclouvain.be/en-linguistic-complexity.html in February 2015
The number of participants is limited. Participation is free of charge
but registration is required (via our registration form available on the
website as of February 2015).
