Welcome to the 20th edition of Psycholinguistics in Flanders (PiF) 2023
The Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences at Ghent University is organising Psycholinguistics in Flanders from 29th May to 31st May 2023 in the centre of historic Ghent, in Belgium. The call is now open for oral and poster presentations.
Participants wishing to present their work should submit a title and an abstract for their presentation before February 24th (see Abstract submission for more details). Notifications will be sent around mid-March.
Overview
What? Psycholinguistics in Flanders has a longstanding tradition (see History). It started in 2002 and since then it has been a central conference for psycholinguists in Belgium and it has quickly gained relevance in Europe thanks to the growing participation of international presenters and attendants. It involves researchers working in psycholinguistics from different perspectives (psychological, neurocognitive, linguistic, computational), interested in various aspects of language, such as reading, text comprehension, word processing, learning, speech production, speech perception, etc. Different approaches are discussed, going from behavioural studies to brain imaging and computational modelling. Methodological contributions are also welcome.
Why? PiF is particularly intended for early-career researchers (PhD students and young post-docs) who can present their newest data and receive feedback from peers and senior scientists. PiF is also the perfect occasion for networking, forming new collaborations and developing future career plans.
When? From Monday 29th to Wednesday 31st May 2023
Where? Ghent University, Campus Dunant 2 (Henri Dunantlaan 2, 9000 Ghent; see Venue)
Keynotes? Invited speakers are Steven Frisson (University of Birmingham) and Shanley Allen (Technical University of Kaiserslautern)
Note that this year's edition will also include a special satellite symposium on Monday 29th, which will be dedicated to Dominiek Sandra (University of Antwerp). Additionally, there will be an information session about Open Science practices. It is particularly addressed to early-career researchers (but everybody is welcome, of course).
