<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm">We are interested in a wide range of subjects
which refer to the studies of language and language-related issues. This year we
would like to focus on exploring networks.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm">“Network” is a term with a broad meaning; within
the scope of the conference it generally refers to the relationships and
interactions among nodes in various fields, such as semantics, lexis,
morphology, cognitive/cultural categories or language transfer and bilingualism.
By 'exploring networks' we understand research studies which cast new light on
the workings of [inter-] language systems, cross-cultural communication and the
cognitive architecture of both language learners and <BR>translators, as well as
other interrelated systems which enable humans to communicate. </P>
