Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; General Linguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Sep-2012 

Meeting Description:

Geneva has been selected by the Comité International Permanent des Linguistes as the venue for the next International Congress of Linguists (ICL). The main theme of the 19th ICL is:

The Language-Cognition Interface:

2013, which falls exactly one hundred years after the death of Ferdinand de Saussure, affords a unique opportunity to look forward to the future of linguistics. Current research in every linguistic field shows that the link between linguistics and the cognitive sciences will significantly increase over the next decades. The emergence of non-invasive technologies for the observation of the brain, the change in statistical and experimental methods, the increasing amount of research in language acquisition and language pathology, as well as the more complex integration of pragmatic approaches to language use at the interface of syntax and semantics all point to an ever-growing link between language and human cognition. New interest has recently been sparked in such topics as the origins of language, and has given rise to a number of new hypotheses. Moreover, traditional domains of linguistics such as phonology, morphology, and synchronic and diachronic syntax now play an increasing role in cognitive studies, especially as related to questions of language acquisition.

The anniversary of Ferdinand de Saussure's death will also be the opportunity to look back on the history of linguistics, particularly as concern the Saussure-Chomsky connection. Although one century is a short period in the history of the sciences, it is more than enough to honor the origins of what has become a mature scientific discipline.

In addition to parallel scientific sessions and workshops, the Congress will include eight plenary sessions devoted to lectures by keynote speakers, addressing the following topics:

1. Giorgio Graffi, History of Linguistics
2. Peter Auer, Sociolinguistics
3. Liliane Haegeman, Syntax
4. Angelika Kratzer, Semantics
5. W. Tecumseh Fitch, Origin and Evolution of Language
6. Philippe Schlenker, Pragmatics and Cognition
7. Karen Emmorey, Neurolinguistics
8. Mark Johnson, Computational Linguistics 

3rd Call for Papers:

The third call for papers of the 19th ICL is now open on the Website of the congress (http://www.cil19.org/en/calls-for-papers/third-call-for-papers/). The final selection of workshops has been finalized. Three types of proposals can be posted:

Papers for one of the parallel sessions: http://www.cil19.org/en/sessions/
Posters: http://www.cil19.org/en/posters-sessions/
Papers to be presented in a workshop: http://www.cil19.org/en/workshops/

The submission form for parallel sessions and posters must be filled on the website:

http://www.cil19.org/en/calls-for-papers/third-call-for-papers/

The submission of papers for workshops must be sent directly to the workshop organizer. 

Abstracts for Parallel Sessions and/or Poster Submission:

Abstracts for session, poster, session or poster, should specify the domain of the proposed contribution by choosing one of the proposed domains in the menu. The topics proposed for the sessions are posted on the parallel sessions webpages and should help you choose the more appropriate destination for your abstract. Abstracts submitted for presentation (regardless of whether they are to be presented in a parallel session and/or as posters) will be evaluated by the organizers of the separate sessions, with the help of additional reviewers. If an abstract does not seem to fall within the domain of the session indicated, it may be forwarded to another session as more appropriate.
