  5th International Conference on the Statistical Analysis of Textual Data

                              March 9-11, 2000

                  Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne

                            Lausanne, Switzerland
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Following Barcelona (1990), Montpellier (1993), Rome (1995), and Nice
(1998), the 5th International Conference on the Statistical Analysis
of Textual Data will be held in Lausanne, on March 9-11, 2000. This
biennial conference, which has constantly been gaining in importance
since its first occurrence, is open to all scholars working in the
vast field of textual data analysis; ranging from lexicography to the
analysis of political discourse, from documentary research to
marketing research, from computational linguistics to
sociolinguistics, from the processing of data to content analysis.
After the success of the previous meetings, the three-day conference
in Switzerland will continue to provide a workshop-style forum through
technical paper sessions, invited talks, and panel discussions.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Circular No 1

28th LAUD SYMPOSIUM

University of Koblenz-Landau
in Landau (Germany)

27-30 March 2000


'Ten Years After'
Cognitive Linguistics:
Second Language Acquisition, Language Pedagogy,
and Linguistic Theory


The LAUD symposium held in Duisburg in 1990 marked "the birth of
cognitive linguistics as a broadly grounded, self-conscious
intellectual movement" (Langacker). Ten years after this First
International Cognitive Linguistics Conference, LAUD once again
invites papers related to issues in cognitive linguistics, but this
time with special reference to language acquisition research and
language pedagogy. Although cognitive linguistics can certainly be
characterized as the most rapidly expanding linguistic paradigm of the
last decade, the impact of this linguistic theory on research in
language acquisition and foreign language teaching has no more than
appeared at the periphery of CL and its pedagogical implications have
been left largely unexplored. Consequently, LAUD 2000 intends to
stimulate the contributions that CL can make to the areas of language
acquisition and language pedagogy. At the same time, it wants to
discuss new positions and developments in more general fields of
cognitive linguistics research that may be relevant for Cognitive
Applied Linguistics (CAL).

The conference is therefore aimed at three interrelated areas within
cognitive linguistics.

We invite papers which consider (1) the interaction between language,
cognition and acquisition, (2) the pedagogical implications that
cognitive linguistics may favour, and (3) cognitive principles of
linguistic, i.e. conceptual organization while acquiring and learning
second or foreign languages.

(1)	Language, cognition, and language acquisition
Specific areas of inquiry at the symposium will include, but will not be
limited to:

- models of second language acquisition in natural settings
- cognitive approaches to language learning research
- psycholinguistic experiments in language learning
- comprehension and production strategies in language learning
-	languages in contrast: L1 and L2 conceptualizations
- corpus requirements in language learning
- the role of the first language
- the role of memory and lexical learning

(2)	Pedagogical implications favoured by cognitive linguistics
Specific areas of inquiry at the symposium will include, but will not be
limited to:

- general: insights prevailing in CL and their possible relevance for the
teaching of grammar/vocabulary in foreign language pedagogy
- basic level items and prototype categories in the acquisition of vocabulary
- CL and pedagogical grammars
- the function of a cognitive grammar of English
- from meaning-focused to form-focused instruction
- the role of grammatical rules as applications of cognitive principles
- CL and the 'consciousness raising' movement
- the teaching of language-specific conceptualizations

(3)	Cognitive principles of linguistic, i.e. conceptual organization in
language acquisition/learning
Specific areas of inquiry at the symposium will include, but will not be
limited to:

- linguistic categories and cognitive models
- conceptual metaphors and metonymies, e.g. emotion concepts
- schemas and prototypes exploited and built up in and across language(s)
- construals within languages and across languages
- iconicity in language and thought
- language and space as the basis of concrete and abstract conceptualization
- language, culture and thought, i.e. language as a culture's symbolization

The final date for submitting one-page abstracts will be July 1, 1999.

Please let us know whether your paper fits section 1, 2 or 3.

Abstracts should be sent by email to each of the following, from whom
