01. About IALS

International Academic Linguistics Seminar (IALS), held by School of Foreign Languages at Henan University, is an annual event featuring on the “Five Lecture Series” by the invited keynote speakers. It is an international conference in combination with intensive training courses in particular fields of linguistics. This seminar is centered on Language and Cognition, but also pays close attention to the development of other disciplines in cognitive science. The seminar hosts the latest theories and data from the world’s best cognitive scientists with a special focus on language and cognition from disciplines including linguistics, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, artificial intelligence, computer science, and education. The organizers endeavor to satisfy the general demand from the largest possible research population for latest theories, and for direct communication with the original scholars.

02. Keynote Speakers and Schedules for IALS-5

Speaker 1: Malka Rappaport Hovav (19th September – 23th September)

Malka Rappaport Hovav (PhD, department of Linguistics and Philosophy, MIT 1984) is Henya Sharef Professor of Humanities in the linguistics department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Director of the Language, Logic and Cognition Center at the university.  She was a founding member of the Israel Association for Theoretical Linguistics (IATL).  She has worked on a wide variety of issues pertaining to the relation between the Lexicon and Syntax, including unaccusativity, resultatives, adjectival passives, the causative alternation, the dative alternation, lexical aspect (aktionsart) and lexicalization patterns. Her books have been published by MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press and John Benjamins. 

Speaker 2: Ian Roberts (19th September – 23th September)

Ian Roberts is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Cambridge and Downing College, Cambridge. He taught at the University of Geneva, University of Bangor and University of Stuttgart. His main research area is in theoretical linguistics, more specifically in comparative syntax. He has worked on the comparative and historical syntax of many of the Germanic, Romance and Celtic languages. He currently holds a project whose goal is to investigate a specific hypothesis as to the way in which the grammatical options made available by Universal Grammar are organized. Refining and testing this hypothesis involves looking at languages from all over the world.

These lectures cover five related topics in general linguistic theory, ranging from quite general and non-technical to somewhat more specific and technical ones. They are unified by a general aim to broaden and deepen linguistic theory in the general context of Chomsky’s Minimalist Program for Linguistic Theory.
