The Sylvia Beach Language Comprehension Conference, 1989

Abstract

The Sylvia Beach Language Comprehension Conference was a conference for internationally-known scholars in the field of language comprehension. Its format was unlike any currently available for disseminating and discussing language comprehension research. It was a small (only 27 participants), intense, two-and-a-half day conference in which participants had the opportunity to interact both formally and informally. Each participant gave a 30-minute talk overviewing the current state of his or her research. A thirty-minute round- table talk discussion followed each set of two or three talks. Informal interaction occurred during sixteen hours of group meals and other activities.
