Welcome to AMLaP 2009

AMLaP is an annual international conference, which has established itself as the premier European venue for interdisciplinary research on how people process language. The conference aims to bring together psychological, linguistic, computational, neurobiological and theoretical perspectives on the cognitive architectures and mechanisms which underlie any aspect of human language processing - from lexical processing, parsing and interpretation through to discourse level mechanisms. Topics relevant to the conference include (but are not limited to): language production, parsing and interpretation, word recognition, speech perception, lexical processing and representation, morphology, reading, discourse processing, language acquisition, cross-linguistic studies, corpus-based studies, learning mechanisms, models of acquisition, connectionist models, neurocognitive models, statistical mechanisms, computational models and computer simulations.
