CBCS hosted the International Conference on Language-Cognition Interface on Dec, 6-9, 2009.

As research on language in its various manifestations continues to remain a major area in cognitive science research with ever increasing sophistication in methodology and theory, the relationship of language to thinking and cognition as well as to consciousness is central to any understanding of human cognition. Integration and consolidation of research is important for gaining insights and broadening discourse as well as for future research direction.

The aim of the international conference was to invite researchers from both India and abroad including younger scholars in the area of language and cognition to CBCS for focused discussion and exchanges of ideas on current research in several interface areas.

Areas of Interest:

Sentence processing

Neurolinguistics

Multi-modal interaction in language processing
