***SIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGE PRODUCTION***
University of Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland
September 2-4, 2010
We are pleased to announce the 6th International Workshop on Language Production. This workshop brings together researchers working across many areas of language production. We have scheduled seminar-style talks on various levels of processing, from the creation of complex syntactic and discourse structures to the processing of phonetic and phonological properties of individual words.
The three-day meeting will be organized around 12 invited talks (speakers listed below). As with previous workshops, this should stimulate lively and interactive discussions. In addition to the invited presentations, we will accept abstract submissions
for a poster session.

The Seventh International Conference on the Mental Lexicon
The University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada,
June 30th - July 3rd, 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Seventh International Conference on the Mental Lexicon will bring together psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and computational research on the representation and processing of words in the mind/brain. The conference encourages a variety of perspectives on lexical representation and processing. The language of the conference is English.
The 2010 meeting will be held in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Windsor is a border city approximately 3 hours from Toronto and 5 minutes from Detroit, Michigan. The end of June is particularly lovely in this garden city and there are numerous things to do in the evening on both sides of the border.
The conference will be held at the University of Windsor’s state-of-the-art conference centre with reasonably priced rooms (breakfasts and lunches included). As in other years we anticipate an excellent selection of top quality research talks and posters on topics that range from computational models of lexical processing through neurolinguistics. Like the previous six meetings (Edmonton 1998, Montreal 2000, 2006, Windsor 2004, Banff 2002, 2008), the conference will include both 15-minute platform presentations and poster sessions each day.
The deadline for receipt of abstracts is February 15th, 2010. Acceptance letters will be e-mailed in the third week of March following review by the scientific and program committees (see below).
We are accepting abstract submissions for platform and poster presentations.
Please see the abstract submission guide below, to submit a one-page abstract in MS Word document format to MLG7@uwindsor.ca
If you have questions about this conference please contact one of the members of the organizing committee headed by Lois Harwood: loish@uwindsor.ca.
