EURO-XPRAG third call for proposals
(open)

Collaborative research in Experimental Pragmatics

Travel grants for short visits

Experimental pragmatics investigates and develops explicit theories of language use and of communication using the methodologies of psycholinguistics and, more generally, of experimental psychology. After having seen accelerated growth over the last ten years, experimental pragmatics is now in a better position to resolve theoretical disputes, to investigate semantic and pragmatic phenomena experimentally, to employ theory-making in order to account for data and to make pragmatic theories more accessible to the cognitive science community at large. As part of an effort to provide a more permanent platform, a Research Networking Program known as EURO-XPRAG supported by the ESF is presenting a third call for proposals that will support collaborative research.

Given the goals of Experimental Pragmatics, EURO-XPRAG is seeking proposals that will bring teams of at least two researchers (across separate countries) together to enrich the field through collaborations. These collaborations will ideally test between theoretical predictions through experimentation, experimentally investigate semantic and pragmatic phenomena with the benefit of a theoretical approach, or develop theories that can account for experimental-pragmatic findings.
