Space in Language
(http://www.humnet.unipi.it/dott_linggensac/SPACE/index.php)
PISA - 8-10 October 2009
Space and its encoding inside languages represent a classic topic in the domain
of the complex interactions between language and cognition. In spite of the rich
bibliography produced in the last years, this subject has yet to offer many
suggestions for developing useful and innovative lines of research. The
conference "Space in Language" is intended to focus on the present status of the
research on this field.
A special purpose of the conference is to promote the activity of young
researchers and PhD students. For this reason, young scholars (max 35 years old)
are invited to send papers on the following topics:
- Conceptual bases and cognitive aspects of spatial categories
- Typological aspects of spatial categories (prepositions, motion verbs et al.)
- Spatial categories and grammaticalisation processes
- Lexicon and grammar of space
- Spatial categories in L1 acquisition processes and L2 learning
- Linguistic deficit and spatial categories
- Encoding of spatial categories in Sign Languages
- Neuro-cognitive evidence about the spatial categories representation
- Reference and deixis in the space/spatiality
- Space and discourse inside the text
Submission Information:
Authors are requested to send their abstracts by e-mail to space09 at ling.unipi.it
with two copies attached (in pdf format); one of these must be anonymous and one
must include authors name, affiliation and email at the top of the page below
the title.
Abstracts should be no shorter than 3000 characters and no longer than 5000
characters including references and examples (spaces included).
The official languages of the conference will be Italian and English.

La spazialita' e la sua codifica nelle lingue rappresentano un tema ormai classico
nell'ambito del complesso rapporto tra linguaggio e cognizione. Nonostante la
ricca bibliografia prodotta negli ultimi anni, l'argomento sembra offrire ancora
spunti per utili e originali sviluppi. Il convegno 'Space in Language' si
propone di fare il punto sullo stato attuale della ricerca in questo settore.
Uno speciale obiettivo del convegno e' quello di promuovere l'attivita' di
giovani ricercatori e dottorandi. Si invitano pertanto le persone interessate a
inviare proposte di comunicazione che potranno interessare uno o più dei
seguenti temi:
- Basi concettuali e aspetti cognitivi delle categorie spaziali
- Aspetti tipologici delle categorie spaziali (preposizioni, verbi di movimento
et al.)
- Categorie spaziali e processi di grammaticalizzazione
- Lessico e grammatica della spazialita'
- Categorie spaziali nei processi di acquisizione di L1 e di apprendimento di L2
- Deficit linguistici e categorie spaziali
- Grammatica dello spazio nelle lingue dei segni
- Evidenza neuro-cognitiva sulla rappresentazione delle categorie spaziali
- Riferimento e deissi nel dominio della spazialita'
- Spazio e discorso nel testo
Informazioni per la presentazione delle proposte di contributo:
Gli abstract dovranno essere inviati per posta elettronica all'indirizzo
space09 at ling.unipi.it
e dovranno presentare un'ampiezza non inferiore a 3.000 caratteri e non superiore
a 5.000 caratteri (spazi inclusi), ivi compresi esempi e riferimenti bibliografici.
Di ciascun abstract dovranno essere allegate due copie: una anonima e l'altra con
l'indicazione del nome, l'affiliazione e l'indirizzo e-mail dell'autore. Le
proposte saranno valutate in forma anonima dal Comitato Scientifico. Le lingue
ufficiali del convegno saranno italiano e inglese. E' prevista la stampa degli
Atti del Convegno attraverso una selezione di contributi presentati.
Date Importanti:
Termine invio proposte: 31 MAGGIO 2009
