Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science 

Call Deadline: 14-Mar-2005 

Meeting Description:

Within the last 25 years or so, Cognitive Linguistics has emerged as a  radical
and exciting new approach to the study of language and the mind  within the
interdisciplinary project known as Cognitive Science.  In that  time a rich and
relatively mature set of theories has developed which have  by now been applied
to a wide range of linguistic and cognitive phenomena.   As Cognitive
Linguistics has grown and matured, debates have emerged  regarding foundational
theoretical positions and data collection practices  and methodologies.
Moreover, in recent years, both the empirical basis and  the interdisciplinary
character of Cognitive Linguistics have been  significantly strengthened.  The
purpose of this international conference  is to take stock of the major
achievements associated with Cognitive  Linguistics since its emergence, and to
provide a forum for examining new  directions.  Papers are invited for
submission which relate to any aspect  of Cognitive Linguistics, from theory to
description.  However, priority  will be given to papers which relate to the
theme 'new direction'. The  conference will also see the inauguration of the UK
Cognitive Linguistics  Association.  There will also be a collection of
peer-reviewed papers  published based on the conference theme.
