5th UK Cognitive Linguistics conference: FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

[Vyv Evans]

*5th UK Cognitive Linguistics Conference: Empirical Approaches to
Language and Cognition Lancaster University, United Kingdom*
*29-31 July 2014*
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/events/uk-clc5/

We invite the submission of abstracts (for paper or poster
presentations) addressing all aspects of cognitive linguistics.

Confirmed plenary speakers are:

•       Daniel Casasanto (The New School, New York)
•       Alan Cienki (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
•       William Croft (University of New Mexico)
•       Adele Goldberg (Princeton University)
•       Stefan Gries (University of California, Santa Barbara)
•       Elena Semino (Lancaster University)

The conference aims to cover a broad range of research concerned with
language and cognition. We will be especially interested in promoting
strongly empirical work. To this end, we intend to organise (some of)
the papers into thematic sessions, with our plenary speakers acting as
discussants. The themes will be:

•       embodiment
•       gesture
•       typology and constructional analyses of the languages of the world
•       acquisition
•       corpora and statistical methods
•       metaphor and discourse

In addition to these themes, submissions on other aspects of the field
are also welcome. These include but are not restricted to:

•       domains and frame semantics
•       categorisation, prototypes and polysemy
•       mental spaces and conceptual blending
•       language evolution
•       linguistic variation and language change
•       cognitive linguistic approaches to language teaching

Cognitive linguistics is by definition highly interdisciplinary, and so
in addition to primarily linguistic research, we also invite submissions
that are based on disciplines such as (cognitive and social) psychology,
cognitive and neuroscience, anthropology, primatology, biology, and
discourse and communication studies.

Talks will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions and discussion.
There will also be a poster session. The language of the conference is
English.

Abstracts of no more than 300 words (excluding references) should be
submitted using EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ukclc5. Participants are
allowed to submit abstracts for no more than one single-authored paper
and one joint-authored paper.

All abstracts will be subject to double-blind peer review by an
international scientific committee. The deadline for abstract submission
is 20 December 2013. Notification of acceptance will be communicated by
1 February 2014.

Abstracts must be strictly anonymous, and should be submitted in plain
text and/or PDF format. If you need to use phonetic characters, please
make sure that they are displayed correctly.

To be able to submit an abstract you must use your existing EasyChair
login details. If you have not registered with EasyChair before, please

by entering “oral presentation”, “poster”, or “oral presentation/poster”
at the top of your abstract, above the title.
6. Type three or more keywords into the ‘Keywords’ box (these will help
