Call for Papers:

Abstracts:

We invite the submission of abstracts (for talks or poster presentations) addressing all aspects of Cognitive Linguistics.  These include, but are by no means limited to:
	
-Domains and frame semantics
-Categorisation, prototypes and polysemy
-Metaphor and metonymy 
-Mental spaces and conceptual blending
-Cognitive and construction grammar
-Embodiment and linguistic relativity
-Language acquisition and language impairment
-Language evolution and language change
-Language use 

Cognitive Linguistics is an inherently interdisciplinary enterprise which is broadly concerned with the connection between language and cognition in relation to body, culture and contexts of use.  We therefore invite interdisciplinary research that combines theories and methods from across the cognitive, biological and social sciences.  These include, but are not limited to:

-Linguistics
-Psycholinguistics
-Anthropology
-Evolution
-Paleoanthropology
-Primatology
-Neuroscience
-Cognitive and developmental psychology
-Discourse and Communication studies

Submission:
