for Papers - Corpus Methods in Cognitive Linguistics<br>
Theme Session at the 13th International Cognitive
Linguistics Conference (ICLC-13<br>
(apologies for crossposting)<br>
<br>
This is a call for submissions for a theme session at
the International Conference of Cognitive Linguistics
(ICLC-13, 20-25 July 2015, Newcastle, UK).<br>
<br>
Building on the tradition developed by Dirven et al.
(1982), Schmid (1993), Geeraerts et al. (1994) and Gries
(2003), the theme session will focus on usage-based
approaches in Cognitive Linguistics. <br>
More specifically, the session has two aims:<br>
<br>
1. Develop corpus methods for attaining descriptive
adequacy.<br>
2. Develop corpus methods for attaining explanatory
adequacy.<br>
<br>
1. Description and social variation<br>
Given the theoretical assumptions of the Cognitive
Linguistics model of language, sociolinguistic variation
is integral to structure. <br>
Therefore, accounting for this complexity in language
description is necessary for descriptive accuracy. <br>
This aim continues the line of research represented in
Dirven & Kristiansen (2008), Geeraerts et al.
(2010), Pütz et al. (2012), and Reif et al. (2013).<br>
<br>
2. Explanation and hypothesis testing<br>
Proposals such as (but not restricted to) prototype
effects in categorisation, force dynamics in causation,
metaphor and metonymy in conceptualisation, frame
semantic structuring of argument structure or grounding
in construal are central to the paradigm of Cognitive
Linguistics. <br>
These theories and those like them seek to explain how
language production is possible. Examples of recent
contributions in this line of research include Gries
& Stefanowitsch (2006), Stefanowitsch & Gries
(2006), Glynn & Fischer (2010), Glynn & Robinson
(2014).<br>
<br>
Although these two aims, description and explanation,
are inherently related, the theme session hopes to
highlight specifically their place in the development of
corpus methodology. <br>
Studies employing corpora / natural language production
that seek to develop the field, in either or both these
ways, are invited for submission. <br>
<br>
*Submission Guidelines*<br>
Abstracts not strictly adhering to submission guidelines
will not be considered.<br>
<br>
*Abstracts*<br>
Abstracts should be clearly structured: <br>
question / problem <br>
answer / solution<br>
data / method<br>
conclusions / results (expected)<br>
<br>
*Formatting*<br>
Abstracts should be formatted following the guidelines
set by the conference:<br>
length: 1 A4 page (including title, name, affiliation,
data, figures, references)<br>
typeface: 10 point Arial, single-spaced <br>
margins: 2.5 cm <br>
format: files should be prepared in .doc, .docx, or .odt<br>
file: title of the file should be: CMCL_AUTHOR_NAME<br>
<br>
*Session Submission*<br>
Date: 20 October 2014<br>
Address: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dglynn@univ-paris8.fr">dglynn@univ-paris8.fr</a><br>
Email subject: CMCL Theme session <br>
<br>
*Conference Submission*<br>
After acceptance to the theme session, the abstracts
must be reviewed again, following the process for
abstract reviewing for general session papers. This
second stage will be anonymous, organised by the
conference and will involve uploading the abstract to
the conference site. This must be done by the 3rd
November. <br>
