The term combinatorics is used here as a cover term for the many definitions of combinatorial processes in the psycho- and neurolinguistics literature including compositionality, combination, composition, binding, merge, blending, etc. <br class=""><br class="">The <b class="">Leipzig Lectures on Language</b> aim to not just capture the current state of the field, but seek to highlight the directions into which junior scholars are currently moving forward. In regular intervals on <b class="">Wednesdays</b> <b class="">always from 1 pm to 2:30 pm (UTC)</b> between May 19 and September 29, 2021 every lecture provides a platform for a so-called "tandem" of a senior and junior scientist to discuss questions concerning combinatorics in language. <br class=""><br class="">In every session, a senior researcher will first briefly introduce prominent aspects of their theoretical framework related to combinatorics in language, while a junior researcher will then give a more detailed talk on their empirical work. This is then followed by a moderated discussion session to which the audience can contribute by asking questions direclty on YouTube or on Twitter using the hashtag #LeipzigLang21. <br class=""><br class="">The overall goal of this lecture series is to provide answers to questions like: What information do we combine in language? Is this process domain-specific or domain-general? How does the brain support combinatorics in language? How does combination take place during language acquisition? What kind of cutting-edge empirical methods will bring us further? How can theory influence experimental linguistics and vice versa? <br class=""><br class="">The line-up for the remaining part of 2021 is as follows: <br class=""><ul class=""><li class="">June 30, 2021: <b class="">Molly Flaherty</b> and <b class="">Susan Goldin-Meadow</b>: Language acquisition; language evolution; sign language; gesture processing</li><li class="">July 14, 2021: <b class="">Pedro Tiago Martins</b> and <b class="">Cedric Boeckx</b>: Language evolution; emergence of language; speech processing; vocal learning</li><li class="">July 21, 2021: <b class="">Stephan Meylan</b> and <b class="">Roger Levy</b>: Language development; computational modeling; psycholinguistics; comprehension-production interface; eyetracking</li><li class="">September 15, 2021: <b class="">Giulio Degano</b> and <b class="">Narly Golestani</b>: Language processing; prosody-syntax interaction; computational modelling</li><li class="">September 29, 2021: <b class="">Bingjiang Lyu</b> and <b class="">Lorraine Tyle</b>r: Language processing; incremental comprehension; linguistic predictions; speech processing; RSA</li><li class="">October 20-21, 2021: End-of-Year Symposium: <a href="https://www.cbs.mpg.de/1744420/lll-workshop" class="">https://www.cbs.mpg.de/1744420/lll-workshop</a> <b class="">(Abstract submission now open!)</b></li></ul>Accessibility: Live-captioning will be provided for all lectures. <br class=""><br class="">For further details on the lecture series, speakers, dates, and information how to participate please visit: <br class=""><a href="https://www.cbs.mpg.de/leipzig-lectures-on-language" class="">https://www.cbs.mpg.de/leipzig-lectures-on-language</a> <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On behalf of the Organising Committee,</div><div class="">Patrick<br class=""><div class="">
