While significant progress has been made in understanding the underlying mechanisms that affect communication in various conditions, and in developing assessment and treatment strategies, progress is slower than it could be because of significant gaps in training of new communication scientists. The current training plan seeks to fill these gaps by;
-
Providing targeted training in the cognitive neuroscience of communication disorders
-
More meaningful connections between trainees and the clinical populations they study
-
By preparing this generation of trainees with the necessary set of professional tools to conduct and disseminate impactful research.
Coming to CNC-CT in 2021...Teresa Girolamo is a Ph.D. candidate in child language at the University of Kansas. Her research focuses on the language abilities of racial/ethnic minority young adults on the autism spectrum.
Congratulations to Silvia Clement-Lam and her husband on the birth of their beautiful baby, Idris
Congratulations to Anne Marie Crinnion for having a crossword puzzle accepted by the NYT along with a nice write-up in UConn Today
Courses
CNC-CT trainees are required to take TalkShop, SICSFLAGS, and the Clinical Connections seminar (Fall). All other courses are "a la carte" for trainees to choose from to fulfill the training requirements. Click to see CNC-CT courses, instructors and semesters offered

Bilateralist Truth-Maker Semantics for ST, TS, LP, K3, ...
Ulf Hlobil, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada
Abstract:
The talk advocates a marriage of inferentialist bilateralism and truth-maker bilateralism. Inferentialist bilateralists like Restall and Ripley say that a collection of sentences, Y, follows from a collection of sentences, X, iff it is incoherent (or out-of-bounds) to assert all the sentences in X and, at the same time, deny all the sentences in Y. In Fine’s truth-maker theory, we have a partially ordered set of states that exactly verify and falsify sentences, and some of these states are impossible. We can think of making-true as the worldly analogue of asserting, of making-false as the worldly analogue of denying, and of impossibility as the worldly analogue of incoherence. This suggests that we may say that, in truth-maker theory, a collection of sentences, Y, follows (logically) from a collection of sentences, X, iff (in all models) any fusion of exact verifiers of the members of X and exact falsifiers of the member of Y is impossible. Under routine assumptions about truth-making, this yields classical logic. Relaxing one such assumption yields the non-transitive logic ST. Relaxing another assumption yields the non-reflexive logic TS. We can use known facts about the relation between ST, LP, and K3, to provide an interpretation of LP as the logic of falsifiers and K3 as the logic of verifiers. The resulting semantics for ST is more flexible than its usual three-valued semantics because it allows us, e.g., to reject monotonicity. We can also recover fine-grained logics, like Correia’s logic of factual equivalence.
All welcome!

Design And Research For Healthy Communities And Healthcare Facilities Conference
Design And Research For Healthy Communities And Healthcare Facilities Conference
Monday, May 17th, 2021
12:00 AM - 11:59 PM
Other Virtual Conference
The Design and Research for Healthy Communities and Healthcare Facilities conference is organized by UConn Anthropology professor Françoise Dussart and Sohyun Park from the Department of Plant Science & Landscape Architecture at UConn. This Interdisciplinary Virtual Conference draws attention to the historical and contemporary contexts within which healthy communities and healthcare facilities-related projects get realized as well as how their performances and outcomes are measured. In a pandemic era, conference presenters explore how issues of class, gender, ethnicity, and age contribute intellectually and literally shaping designs and their execution. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and empirical observations, presenters explore insights and questions which arise through cross-disciplinary dialogues, and examine how social and identity politics shape the architecture of care and are working to build better healing spaces.

ELM: Expression, Communication And Expression Conference
ELM: Expression, Communication And Expression Conference
Saturday, August 20th, 2022
12:00 AM - 11:59 PM
Storrs Campus TBA
Expression, Language, and Music (ELM) is to be a biennial conference that brings together researchers from linguistics, music theory, anthropology, neurobiology, cognitive science, philosophy, and more, with the aim of integrating recent findings and insights from diverse perspectives concerning, e.g. the significance of emotional expression for both music and language, the importance of systematic structure in both music and language, and the interrelations between expressive, musical, and communicative capacities and their relevance for understanding the emergence of language (in ontogeny and phylogeny). Future conferences may focus more narrowly on a subset of these topics.
We are tentatively scheduling the inaugural in-person meeting of ELM for August 20-22, 2022.Contact Information: aliyar.ozercan@uconn.edu
