| HCSNet Human Communication Disorders Priority Area - Workshop on Narrative and Communication Disorders. For further information, contact Associate Professor Lesley Stirling lesleyfs@unimelb.edu.auor Dr Susan Douglassdouglas@unimelb.edu.au. |
The aim of the workshop is to bring together Australian and international researchers with an interest in narrative and communication disorders. The workshop will address developmental and acquired disorders of both child and adult language and perspectives from neurotypical populations; it will consider topics in theory, methodology and analysis. The intention is to take a truly interdisciplinary approach, involving speakers and participants from a range of areas covered by the broad domain of cognitive science, and to generate fruitful leads and directions for further research. Thus we expect that researchers from linguistics, psychology, speech pathology, psychiatry, computer science, cognitive neuroscience and other areas will find the workshop of interest. Interested researchers are invited to submit 200-250 word abstracts for paper or poster presentations by 2nd June 2008. Further details are available on the workshop website at http://www.hcsnet.edu.au/hcsnetevents/2008/ncdworkshop |
