SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
OF THE SPANISH COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS ASSOCIATION
(AELCO/SCOLA)

València, 15th - 17th May 2002

http://www.um.es/lincoing/aelco2002/aelco2002.htm

The Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (Asociación Española de
Lingüística Cognitiva-AELCO/SCOLA) is member of the International Cognitive
Linguistics Association. The Association originated as a forum for researchers
working on various topics in Cognitive Linguistics (e.g. prototypes,
iconicity,
metaphorization, mental imagery, cognitive models, etc.). This approach to
language includes a whole range of theoretical and descriptive proposals that
see language as intimately tied to the interaction of cultural, psychological,
communicative, and functional constraints, and which must be analyzed in the
context of conceptualization and mental processing.

Previous meetings have been held in Alacant (1998) and Madrid (2000). The III
AELCO/SCOLA Conference will take place at the University of Valencia (15t-
17th May 2002).
