NEW DIRECTIONS IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS
First UK Cognitive Linguistics Conference
23-25 October 2005
University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
http://www.cogling.org.uk
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 directions'.
Papers which relate to some aspect of the following are particularly welcome:
- new descriptive or theoretical insights in Cognitive Linguistics
- new or recent empirical or methodological aspects of Cognitive Linguistics
- new or recent applications of Cognitive Linguistics
- a critical evaluation of an aspect of the Cognitive Linguistics enterprise
- the interface between Cognitive Linguistics and neighbouring disciplines
- new frontiers in Cognitive Linguistics
- new or recent theories within Cognitive Linguistics, or new developments in a
particular theory
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.
Plenary speakers are:
Paul Chilton, University East Anglia, UK
'Dimensions of discourse'
Ronald Langacker, University of California, San Diego, USA
'Constructions and constructional meaning'
Brigitte Nerlich, University of Nottingham, UK
'Cognitive linguistics: A tale of two cultures'
Chris Sinha, University of Portsmouth, UK
'Mind, brain, society: Language as vehicle and language as window'
Mark Turner, Case Western Reserve University, USA
Talk title tbc
Jordan Zlatev, Lund University, Sweden
'Intersubjectivity, bodily mimesis and the grounding of language'
Conference Format
The conference will run over three days. In addition to six plenary lectures
which will each last for one hour, there will be a general session, consisting
of 30 minute presentations in parallel, poster presentations and 3 invited theme
sessions relating to the conference theme. The invited theme sessions are as
follows:
- Cognitive approaches to lexical semantics
- Conceptual projection
- Making sense of embodiment
Submission of Abstracts
Submissions are solicited for the general session and for poster presentations.
Presentations in the general session should last for 20 minutes with 10 minutes
for questions. All submissions for the general and poster sessions should
follow the abstract guidelines below.
- Abstracts of no more than 500 words (about a page) should be submitted to
abstract at cogling.org.uk
- Abstracts must be in 12 point font and submitted as an email attachment
- The abstract should clearly indicate the talk/poster title, and may include
references, as long as the total word count does not exceed 500 words.
