THEME

The 2023 Institute is hosted by the UMass Amherst Linguistics Department. Professors Ana Arregui and Kyle Johnson are the 2023 Institute co-directors.

The theme of the 2023 Institute is “Linguistics as Cognitive Science: Universality and Variation.” Our goal is to put emphasis on the contributions made by the study of language to the scientific study of the human mind. Our hope is that the Institute will provide a forum to facilitate the integration of our knowledge of what is universal in human language with our understanding of linguistic variation across populations. By appealing to both of these strands, variety in language and its limits, we aim to bring together researchers working on language with diverse interests and point of view, with a stimulating set of course offerings that ranges from introductory courses to state-of-the art seminars. In addition to courses, the 2023 Institute will, like institutes past, include workshops, sessions on professional development, social gatherings, lectures by experts, and much more.
