First International Association for Cognitive Semiotics
(IACS) Conference (IACS-2014) will be held in September
25-27, at Lund University, Sweden. Founded in Aarhus,
Denmark, on May 29, 2013, The International Association for
Cognitive Semiotics aims at the further establishment of
Cognitive Semiotics as the trans-disciplinary study of
meaning, combining concepts, theories and methods from the
humanities and the social and natural sciences. Central
topics are the evolution, development of, and interaction
between different semiotic resources such as language,
gestures and pictorial representations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of the conference: Establishing Cognitive Semiotics<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span
style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif";mso-fareast-language:JA">Over
the past two decades or so, a number of researchers from
semiotics, linguistics, cognitive science and related
fields, from several European and North American research
centres, have experienced the needs to combine theoretical
knowledge and methodological expertise in order to be able
to tackle challenging questions concerning the nature of
meaning, the role of consciousness, the unique cognitive
features of mankind, the interaction of nature and nurture
in development, and the interplay of biological and cultural
evolution in phylogeny. The product of these collaborations
has been the emergence of the field of Cognitive Semiotics,
with its own journal (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

style="color:#386EFF">http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/cogsem</span></a>)

celebrate this, and to look forward into possibilities for
further development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
