The 1999 ICLA conference will take place on the campus of Stockholm
University (SU) in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, July 10-16,

which considers the relationship between language and
cognition. Specific areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to
the following: function and form; lexical and grammatical meaning;
metaphor and metonymy as cultural and cognitive phenomena; literature
and cognition; language change and grammaticalization; typology;
polysemy and semantic fields; discourse analysis; language
acquisition; conceptual structure; language processing; reference
theory; relationship between language and thought;
connectionism. Contributions from the fields of neuro- and
psycholinguistics, sign language research, bilingualism,
ethnolinguistics, and cognitive science are also encouraged.

Presentation formats at ICLC99 will include invited plenary talks and
20 minutes paper presentations, as well as theme and poster
sessions. Instructions for submission of theme session proposals and
abstracts for papers and posters are posted on our web site. A list of
