Dear colleagues

The website of Cultural Linguistics is now up and running, here is the link:

http://profiles.arts.monash.edu.au/farzad-sharifian/cultural-linguistics/

Cultural Linguistics is a multidisciplinary area of research that explores the relationship between language, culture, and conceptualisation. Originally, this area grew out of an interest in integrating cognitive linguistics with the three traditions within linguistic anthropology of Boasian linguistics, ethnosemantics, and the ethnography of speaking. For Cultural Linguistics, many features of human languages are entrenched in cultural conceptualisations, including cultural models.

In recent years, while Cultural Linguistics has maintained its interest in cognitive linguistic research’s exploration of the role of culture as a source of conceptualising experience, it has drawn on several other disciplines and sub-disciplines, such as complexity science, distributed cognition, and cognitive anthropology to enrich its theoretical understanding of the notion of cultural cognition. Applications of Cultural Linguistics have enabled fruitful investigations of the cultural grounding of language in several applied domains such as World Englishes, intercultural communication, and political discourse analysis. Research carried out within these applied areas has shed significant light on the nature of the relationship between language and culture.
