This paper refers to the forthcoming ISCA (In-ternational Speech Communication Associa-tion) Workshop “Experimental Linguistics” in Athens, Greece, in 2006. The major objectives of the Workshop are (1) the development of ex-perimental methodologies in linguistic research with new perspectives for the study of lan-guage, (2) the unification of linguistic knowledge in relation to linguistic theory based on ex-perimental evidence, (3) the design of multifac-tor linguistic models and (4) the integration of interdisciplinary expertise in linguistic applica-tions. Key knowledge areas ranging from cog-nition and neurophysiology to perception and psychology are organised in invited lectures as well as in oral and poster presentations along with interdisciplinary panel discussions.
