    11th International Conference of the Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association

    Cognitive linguistic research in metonymy, metaphor, constructions and
    frames: Scope, models and methods

    The Organizing Committee of the 11th International Conference of the
    Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (AELCO/SCOLA) is pleased to
    announce that this 11th edition will take place at the University of
    Córdoba (Spain) on the 17th, 18th and 19th of October 2018 under the
    theme ?Cognitive linguistic research in metonymy, metaphor,
    constructions and frames: Scope, models and methods?.

    Thanks to its rich cultural and monumental legacy, Córdoba was
    designated World Heritage City by the UNESCO in 1984. A crossroads of
    diverse cultures throughout its history, it possesses a large number
    of impressive monuments like the Mosque-Cathedral, the Alcázar de los
    Reyes Cristianos (Fortress of the Catholic Monarchs), the palatiañ
    city Medina Azahara, or the medieval Fernandina churches. The Judería
    (Jewish Quarter) stands out for its narrow, winding streets.

    The following plenary speakers have confirmed their participation:

    - Mario Brdar, University of Osijek (Croatia).
    - Günter Radden, Emeritus Professor, University of Hamburg (Germany).
    - Francisco J. Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, University of La Rioja (Spain).
    - Leonard Talmy, Emeritus Professor, University of Buffalo, New York (U.S.A.).

    Contributions are encouraged on topics included in, or related to, the
    theme proposed for this edition, such as:
    - Theoretical models for research metaphor, metonymy, constructions
    and frames.
    - Scientific research methods in the study of metaphor, metonymy,
    constructions and frames
    - The interaction of metaphor, metonymy, constructions and frames.
    - The development of detailed repositories and databases for metaphor,
    metonymy, constructions and frames.
    - Cross-linguistic studies on these areas.
    - Multimodal research on these areas.

    AELCO/SCOLA?s conferences always aim to serve as a forum for
    discussion of any topic within the field of cognitive linguistics.
    Therefore, we invite a broad range of papers on other traditional
    topics in cognitive linguistics such as:
    - The structural characteristics of natural language categorization,
    including (apart from metaphor, metonymy and frames) prototypicality,
    image schemas, mental imagery and cognitive models).
    - The explicit characterization of linguistic meaning in terms
    appropriate to its nature (figure/ground, profiling, grounding, scope
    of predication, etc.).
    - The functional principles of linguistic organization (such as
    iconicity and naturalness).
    - The relationship between language and thought.
    - The conceptual interface between syntax and semantics.
    - The experiential and pragmatic basis of language.
    - The conceptual basis and structural organization of signed languages.
    - The nature of language in its evolutionary and historical perspectives.
    - The acquisition of language via cognitive, communicative and general
    social experience.
    - The relationship between language and non-linguistic aspects of
    communication such as gesture.

    Submission formats

    The languages of the conference are Spanish and English. Oral session
    slots will be allocated 30 minutes, which includes 20 minutes for each
