Among affiliate organizations of the ICLA, the SCLA is unique in that it is not a national organization of cognitive linguists, but rather an international group of cognitive linguists concerned with research on Slavic languages. We also accept papers on topics dealing with other languages of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Central Asia. If you would like to submit your ICLC abstract on a topic related to the concerns of the SCLA for our conference, please follow the submission guidelines below and indicate that your abstract was accepted to the ICLC in your submission email. The SCLC is usually a small conference of around 30 papers, but we will do our best to accommodate additional presentations this year.</b></p><p>The Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association (SCLA) announces the third call for papers for the 2009 Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Conference (SCLC-2009), October 15-17, 2009.
