THE 2009 SLAVIC COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS CONFERENCE
(SCLC-2009)
October 15-17, 2009

EXTENDED DEADLINE: APRIL 15, 2009


NOTE TO ICLC PARTICIPANTS: We would like to encourage those of you who  
had planned to participate in the ICLC-2009 conference in Berkeley to  
consider joining us in Prague in October. Among affiliate  
organizations of the ICLA, the SCLA is unique in that it is not a  
national organization of cognitive linguists, but rather an  
international group of cognitive linguists concerned with research on  
Slavic languages. We also accept papers on topics dealing with other  
languages of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and  
Central Asia. If you would like to submit your ICLC abstract on a  
topic related to the concerns of the SCLA for our conference, please  
follow the submission guidelines below and indicate that your abstract  
was accepted to the ICLC in your submission email. The SCLC is usually  
a small conference of around 30 papers, but we will do our best to  
accommodate additional presentations this year.

The Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association (SCLA) announces the  
third call for papers for the 2009 Slavic Cognitive Linguistics  
Conference (SCLC-2009), October 15-17, 2009. We are very pleased to  
hold SCLC-2009 in conjunction with the Department of Czech Language  
and Theory of Communication of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University  
in Prague, Czech Republic. Full information about the conference may  
be found at the official conference website (http://ucjtk.ff.cuni.cz/sclc/sclc_eng.htm 
).

Papers concerning all aspects of Slavic languages (phonetics,  
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, as well as  
broadly cultural or literary topics) from the perspective of cognitive  
linguistics are welcome. We also accept papers on topics dealing with  
other languages of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet  
Union, and Central Asia. Abstracts may be submitted up until the  
extended deadline of April 15, 2009 to Steven Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu 
 >. Abstracts should be approximately 500 words, but strict word  
limits are not required. Notification of acceptance will be provided  
by May 31, 2009. Please see the official conference website (http://ucjtk.ff.cuni.cz/sclc/sclc_eng.htm 
) for more details.

We hope you will be able to join us in Prague for SCLC-2009. Please  
forward this call for papers to your colleagues and graduate students  
who may be interested in presenting or attending.

All the best,


Steven Clancy
