<em>Description</em></a></p><hr /><br /><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>We
propose this theme session for ICLC 13 (Northumbria, July 2015). It
aims to bring together researchers working on topics related to
linguistic taboo (euphemism, dysphemism, taboo words, etc.) from a
Cognitive Linguistics perspective. <br /><br />In recent years, a
number of contributions have underlined the social and the cognitive
nature of taboo phenomena (Casas Gómez, 2009; Crespo Fernández,
2008; Chamizo Domínguez, 2004, 2009). This has led to a renewed
interest in defining and theorizing about the domain’s core concepts
(interdiction, taboo, euphemism, dysphemism, etc.). We believe that
bringing together the scattered voices would contribute to the
coherence and cohesion of the field. Likewise, it will breathe air
into this new generation of studies of linguistic taboo.<br />We
advocate for a maximalist theory of meaning, as is usual in Cognitive
Linguistics (Cuyckens et al., 2009; Geeraerts; 2006). Specifically, we
aim at reflecting on a new, non-essentialist framework for linguistic
taboo and related phenomena that takes into account its social and
cognitive facets. We ask contributors to support their theoretical
reflections with empirical analyses of written or spoken data
(synchronic or diachronic, but preferably quantitative and
multifactorial).<br /><br />We encourage papers on the following
topics:<br /><br />- Linguistic taboo and prototype theory: at the
semasiological level, what constitutes a taboo category? How taboo (or
how central) are certain taboo concepts/words? At the onomasiological
level, how fuzzy are the limits of taboo categories? How salient are
the expressions for a certain taboo concept? (see Geeraerts et al.
1994)<br /><br />- Embodiment and Cultural Conceptualisation of Taboo:
What is the role of embodiment in the conceptualisation of certain
taboos (sex, physiology, illness)? How do cultural models of the body
affect linguistic taboo? How do taboos vary among cultural groups and
what role do they play? (see Lakoff 1987; Sharifian 2011; etc.)<br
/><br />- Construal of taboo concepts (Cognitive Metaphor, Cognitive
Metonymy, vagueness…): What linguistic mechanisms participate in the
expression of taboo concepts? How productive are they in the
expression of taboo concepts? What source domains are more frequent?
Are some taboo concepts more prone to be construed through
metaphor/metonymy? (see Allan y Burridge, 1991; Crespo Fernández,
2008; Lakoff &Johnson, 2013; etc.)<br /><br />- Cognitive
Sociolinguistics of Linguistic Taboo: what external factors affect the
variation of taboo concepts? How do linguistic and external factors
interfere in the variation of taboo concepts? Can traditional
assumptions on the use of taboo be confirmed (preferences of men vs.
women, young vs. old, etc.)? Are there patterns of variation? (see
Geeraerts, et al., 2010; Kristiansen & Dirven, 2008; Pizarro Pedraza,
2013).<br /><br />- Cognitive Pragmatics and Linguistic Taboo: What
elements of the pragmatic situation affect the production/reception of
taboo concepts? What functions does taboo have in interpersonal
communication? How is taboo related to pragmatic competence? (see Jay,
2000; Jay & Janshewitz, 2008)<br /><br />- Methodologies: Can
Cognitive Linguistics’ methods be applied to the study of linguistic
taboo? What are the problems of working with available corpora? From a
Cognitive Sociolinguistic perspective, how to deal with taboo data
collection? How to deal with ethics? What are the problems of setting
up an experiment about taboo topics?</p><br /><b>Área temática:</b>
