Embodied and Situated Language Processes Conference

ESLP 2025 will be hosted by Aix Marseille Université, organized by the members of the CRPN (UMR CNRS 7077, Aix Marseille Université) in collaboration with SCALab (UMR CRNS 9193, Université de Lille).

The Embodied and Situated Language Processing (ESLP) Conference, provides an interdisciplinary forum discussing current developments in grounding during online language processing. It welcomes a broad spectrum of methods to examine the interaction of language and sensory and motor processing, such as behavioural, neurophysiological and computational approaches, to foster research in the context of theories of semantic grounding or embodiment and pragmatic situated communication and language use.

This year’s conference will expand its scope to include perspectives on non-human cognition. The historic city of Aix-en-Provence, with its rich academic heritage and strong tradition in cognitive science research, provides the perfect backdrop for fostering interdisciplinary exchanges between researchers.
