CONFERENCE:

LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND MIND 3


2nd 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 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.
