Call for submissions: Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science 
(RAILS)

The 2
nd Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science (RAILS) will be held 
in Saarbruecken, Germany, 13-15 February 2025. The central theme of this 
conference is rational communication, i.e. the idea that language users 
continuously strive to optimize their means of communication to effectively 
convey their intended messages. RAILS brings together research on (1) how 
interlocutors process and update information in diverse situational contexts, 
(2) how language use is adapted to certain contexts and intended referents, and 
(3) how linguistic and conceptual information is stored and maintained in 
short- and long-term memory.

We invite submissions from researchers across the language sciences – including 
speech science, theoretical linguistics, empirical linguistics, 
psycholinguistics and neuroscience, computational linguistics, as well as 
language development, change and evolution – who apply rational probabilistic 
explanations to linguistic phenomena, or bring novel experimental findings to 
bear on such accounts.

Keynote speakers:
Mark Dingemanse (Radboud University)
Richard Futrell (University of California, Irvine)
Adele Goldberg (Princeton University)
Rachel Ryskin (University of California, Merced)

Submission guidelines:
Abstracts should be submitted as a single PDF file via
