Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 21-Jan-2011 

Meeting Description:

This session is devoted to an interaction between the mind, discourse and society. In particular it focuses on how certain social actions are mediated by discourse (personal narratives, dynamic negotiation of self and a vision of the world in talk) and encoded in cognitive structures (frames, ICMs, metaphor, metonymy, force dynamics, image schemas). This new area of research has attracted several researchers working within the conceptual metaphor theory, discourse studies and cognitive linguistics. For example, Bernardez (2007) stresses the need to expand cognitive linguistic research beyond the solipsistic mind - container and to place it firmly in cultural interaction including the socio-historical dimension (synergic cognition). The role of metaphor in discourse has been noted already in the seminal studies by Charteris-Black (2004) and Musolff (2004), and this line of research has been steadily developing. Semino (2010) shows how to investigate the influence of text genre on metaphor in academic and educational discourses. Cameron et al. (2009) place metaphor in a discourse-dynamic perspective and show how it can be employed to express values of a particular speech community. Hart (2010) stresses the need for Cognitive Discourse Analysis to expand the discipline beyond metaphor and include Langacker's construal operations or Talmy's force dynamics in the investigation of discourse. Van Dijk (2009) advocates a socio-cognitive approach to ideology. 

Call for Papers:

The major objective of the present session is investigating the role of cognitive structures in discourse, in particular with relation to the following topics:

-Memorialisation of traumatic historical events
-The construction of victim and perpetrator in war narratives
-Negotiation of social hierarchy in the workplace
-Constructing empathy in conflict situations
-Representation of social minorities
-Gender and the workplace
-Values and their expression in discourse

The abstracts for the Session: Mind, Discourse Society should comply with the general guidelines of the PLM conference and be submitted via EasyChair system http://ifa.amu.edu.pl/plm/2011/Abstract_submission by January 21st 2011.
