| Part 1 | Views In each case, the idea is to get an overview of what linguistics as a science is from the perspective at hand. So even though some perspectives focus on a particular component (semantics, syntax, pragmatics) it should also give a comprehensive view of the entire discipline. i.e., provide a coherent picture of all (major) components of grammar. |

| 6 | Materialism | Mike Beaken & Peter Jones | Confirmed |
| 7 | Probabilistic Approaches | Harald Baayen | Confirmed |
| Part 2 | Concepts These are contributions that are geared toward a critical examination of more specialized aspects of linguistics methodology: what views are there on the status of rules? What is the rule of intuitions, how do they relate to other types of linguistic data? What is the status of compositionality principle, how does it shape the organization of grammar? What is a linguistic universal, how does the concept relate to a particular framework? & etc. |
