[Anders Hougaard]

Language Culture and Mind 3

 

1st Theme sessions call                            

 




The LCM committee and local organizers call for theme session proposals 

for the third conference in the series Language, Culture and Mind.

 

The conference will be held in modern and comfortable 

conference facilities <http://www.sdu.dk/Om_SDU/Konferencefaciliteter.aspx>  at University of Southern Denmark <http://www.sdu.dk/>  in Odense 14th - 16th July 2008.

 

The conference aims at establishing an interdisciplinary forum for an integration of 

cognitive, social and cultural perspectives in theoretical and empirical studies of language and communication

 

The special theme of the conference is Social Life and Meaning Construction.




We call for contributions from scholars and scientists in anthropology, biology, linguistics, 

philosophy, psychology, semiotics, semantics, social interaction, discourse analysis, cognitive and 

neuroscience, who wish both to impart their insights and findings, and learn from other disciplines. 

Preference will be given to submissions which emphasize interdisciplinarity, the interaction between 

social life, culture, mind and language, and/or multi-methodological approaches in language and communication sciences.
