Organized by Joan Bresnan and Benedikt Szmrecsanyi

There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the centrality of probabilistic reasoning and statistical inference in mastering spoken and written discourse. Even for higher-level linguistic choices between close paraphrases speakers of a language have powerful predictive abilities that enable them to match their variable linguistic environments and anticipate the linguistic choices of others. In this spirit, the meeting seeks to bring together syntacticians, phoneticians, psycholinguists, sociolinguists, and computational linguists to discuss probabilistic approaches to modeling syntactic variation in synchrony and diachrony.
