This year's parasession will examine the nature of human linguistic knowledge

models. The relationship between linguistic cognition and other cognitive
systems, and the correspondence between the linguist's constructs and the
speaker's mental constructs, are among the possible topics. Invited speakers
include:
ELISABETH BATES, University of California, San Diego
EVE V. & HERBERT H. CLARK, Stanford University
RAY JACKENDOFF, Brandeis University
