From: Natalia Knoblock [nlknoblo at svsu.edu]
Subject: Conflict, Crisis, and Revolution from the Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

 
Full Title: Conflict, Crisis, and Revolution from the Cognitive Linguistic Perspective 

Date: 10-Jul-2017 - 14-Jul-2017
Location: Tartu, Estonia 
Contact Person: Natalia Knoblock
Meeting Email: nlknoblo at svsu.edu

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

Call Deadline: 25-Aug-2016 

Meeting Description:

We are inviting submissions for a theme session to be incorporated into the
ICLC 14 in Tartu. We welcome various cognitive-linguistic approaches and
methodologies and are particularly interested in the projects concentrating on
the linguistic aspects of the current situation in Ukraine.

Organisers:

Natalia Knoblock, Saginaw Valley State University (USA)
Serhyi Potapenko, Nizhyn State University (Ukraine)



Call for Papers: 

We are inviting submissions for a theme session to be incorporated into the
ICLC 14 in Tartu. Proposals should be original, high quality research
contributions that advance the field of cognitive linguistics and concentrate
on the multiple facets of linguistic creativity in the time of conflict,
crisis, war, or revolution. 

The aim of this panel is to open up a discussion of the hitherto neglected
sphere and to demonstrate that crisis, conflict, war, revolution, and other
similar phenomena represent different facets of a more basic phenomenon which
guides a number of cognitive processes.

The focus of the proposed panel is dictated by the desire to understand why
the violent state of affairs in different parts of the world is often
categorized differently. For example, the events in Syria are usually regarded
as conflict and war while the term crisis is left to describe the consequences
concerning the influx of refugees. Conversely, besides being a conflict, the
Ukrainian situation is frequently termed as a crisis and more rarely as war or
revolution. 

Hence the panel will focus on a number of questions. Why is the violent state
of affairs categorized differently as the examples of Syria and Ukraine
suggest? How do these categorization distinctions influence the application of
other cognitive procedures – conceptual metaphor, metonymy, conceptual
integration, etc. – to the description of the state of affairs in texts of
different genres? Why has the concept of crisis lately spread to
conceptualizing practically all spheres of life: politics, education, science,
sport, and others? 

Please email your proposals for a 20 minute talk followed by a 5 minute Q & A
sessions to Natalia Knoblock nlknoblo at svsu.edu and Serhiy Potapenko
potapenko.sergey at mail.ru

We are planning to submit successful presentations for publication as an
