Special Symposium:
Neuroscience of Language Opening the Way to the Future of Linguistics（YouTube Record: start time 00:24:25）
With the rapid development of neuroscience in recent years, the brain mechanisms underlying language are becoming more apparent. In linguistics, progress has been made in theoretical and descriptive research on diverse languages, and the nature of language is gradually being elucidated. However, many issues need to be addressed to establish a productive relationship between linguistics and neuroscience, such as the linguistic implications of neuroscience experiments and the construction and revision of linguistic theories based on these experiments. In this symposium, after reviewing the recent progress in the neuroscience of language, we will discuss how neuroscience has contributed (or could contribute) to linguistics and what the future challenges are. Furthermore, by discussing what both linguists and neuroscientists want from each other’s fields, the symposium will also examine the possibilities for linguistics and neuroscience to collaboratively design experiments in the study of language.
(This symposium is co-organized with the United Associations of Language Studies)
Organizer: Shinri OHTA (Kyushu University)
