Meeting Description:

Corpus Methods in Cognitive Linguistics
http://www.dsglynn.univ-paris8.fr/cmcl_iclc.html 

This is a call for submissions for a theme session at the International Conference of Cognitive Linguistics (ICLC-13, 20-25 July 2015, Newcastle, UK).

Building on the tradition developed by Dirven et al. (1982), Schmid (1993), Geeraerts et al. (1994) and Gries (2003), the theme session will focus on usage-based approaches in Cognitive Linguistics. More specifically, the session has two aims:

1. Develop corpus methods for attaining descriptive adequacy.
2. Develop corpus methods for attaining explanatory adequacy.

1. Description and Social Variation

Given the theoretical assumptions of the Cognitive Linguistics model of language, sociolinguistic variation is integral to structure. Therefore, accounting for this complexity in language description is necessary for descriptive accuracy. This aim continues the line of research represented in Dirven & Kristiansen (2008), Geeraerts et al. (2010), Pütz et al. (2012), and Reif et al. (2013).

2. Explanation and Hypothesis Testing

Proposals such as (but not restricted to) prototype effects in categorisation, force dynamics in causation, metaphor and metonymy in conceptualisation, frame semantic structuring of argument structure or grounding in construal are central to the paradigm of Cognitive Linguistics. These theories and those like them seek to explain how language production is possible. Examples of recent contributions in this line of research include Gries & Stefanowitsch (2006), Stefanowitsch & Gries (2006), Glynn & Fischer (2010), Glynn & Robinson (2014).

Although these two aims, description and explanation, are inherently related, the theme session hopes to highlight specifically their place in the development of corpus methodology.

Call for Papers:

Studies employing corpora / natural language production that seek to develop the field, in either or both these ways, are invited for submission.

Submission Guidelines:

Abstracts not strictly adhering to submission guidelines will not be considered.

Abstracts:

Abstracts should be clearly structured: 

Question / problem 
Answer / solution
Data / method
Conclusions / results (expected)

Formatting:

Abstracts should be formatted following the guidelines set by the conference:

Length: 1 A4 page (including title, name, affiliation, data, figures, references)
Typeface: 10 point Arial, single-spaced 
Margins: 2.5 cm 
Format: files should be prepared in .doc, .docx, or .odt
File: title of the file should be: CMCL_AUTHOR_NAME

Session Submission:

Date: 20 October 2014
Address: dglynn at univ-paris8.fr
Email subject: CMCL Theme session 

Conference Submission:

After acceptance to the theme session, the abstracts must be reviewed again, following the process for abstract reviewing for general session papers. This second stage will be anonymous, organised by the conference and will involve uploading the abstract to the conference site. This must be done by 3 November.
