The aim of the biennial IMPRS conference series on Interdisciplinary Approaches in the Language Sciences is to inspire the next generation of language scientists to take on new challenges that will further our understanding of the human language ability.
The 2024 edition will cover four main themes and feature the following keynote and invited presenters:
|
The dynamic nature of language: |
Keynote: Prof. Dr. Adams Bodomo Invited: Corentin Bourdeau |
|
Language of the body: |
Keynote: Prof Dr. Martha Alibali Invited: TBA |
|
Language development |
Keynote: Prof. Dr. Shanley Allen |
|
Language production in |
Keynote: Dr. Chiara Gambi Invited: TBA |
A unique aspect of this conference is that, alongside presentations on empirical research, we will organise an open ‘Behind The Science’ discussion in which scientists share the sources of insights and inspiration that drive their research. This way, early career scientists can discover much of the unspoken yet essential processes that lead to ground-breaking research. Moreover, several workshops will take place covering different areas of scientific practice.
We strongly encourage doctoral candidates and masters students to participate, and we look forward very much to welcoming you!

*All sessions will be interpreted from English to International Sign Language and vice versa.
To illustrate a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, each theme will include one keynote presentation and one invited presentation. The presenters were selected by the current members of the IMPRS for Language Sciences based on their significant contributions to their respective research fields. The presentations will reveal the ideas and processes that shape their work, highlight recent findings and hint at future endeavours.
We will also feature two short presentations per theme that will be selected from abstract submissions. A larger portion of abstract submissions will be selected as poster presentations.
We invite abstract submissions from early-career researchers on all topics in the language sciences. On-going research is welcome. It will be possible to present posters in both in-person and online poster sessions. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously and selected for short presentations or posters. The word limit for abstracts is 300 words including references, with no figures or tables.
