Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 01-Nov-2016 

Meeting Description:

The three-day symposium aims to continue as a forum for the discussion of
links between figurative thought and language started at previous events in
Thessaloniki (2014) and Pavia (2015). Cognitive linguistics was at the time of
its inception all about conceptual metaphors, and also about metonymies and
image schemas. As a result of the rapid development and diversification of
cognitive linguistics, new topics and methodologies emerged, gradually pushing
conceptual metaphors and metonymies out of the centre stage. However, vigorous
research into how conceptual metaphors and metonymies interact and motivate
grammatical structures that we have recently witnessed justifies its coming
back into the limelight.

We invite contributions from various theoretical and applied perspectives, and
methodologies. Suggested topics include (but are not restricted to) the impact
of figuration on levels of linguistic analysis (morphology, lexis, semantics,
pragmatics), on areas of grammar, on various types of discourse (e.g., the
discourse of economics, law, medicine, philosophy, politics, psychology and
psychotherapy), as well as figurative multimodality and the relationship
between language and emotions, language and humour, irony, sarcasm, euphemism,
etc.

The symposium will also feature a round table on the state of research in
figurative language.

Charles Forceville (University of Amsterdam)
Raymond W. Gibbs Jr (University of California, Santa Cruz)

Call for Papers: 

We invite contributions from various theoretical and applied perspectives
(e.g. cognitive linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience and the
philosophy of the mind), and methodologies (e.g., experimental protocols,
cross-linguistic comparison, synchronic and diachronic analyses, translation,
corpus studies). Suggested topics include (but are not restricted to) the
impact of figuration on levels of linguistic analysis (morphology, lexis,
semantics, pragmatics), on areas of grammar, on various types of discourse
(e.g., the discourse of economics, law, medicine, philosophy, politics,
psychology and psychotherapy), as well as figurative multimodality and the
relationship between language and emotions, language and humour, irony,
sarcasm, euphemism, etc.

The working language of the symposium is English. Submissions on languages
other than English are encouraged.

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words including figures and references. They
should also list up to five keywords.  Regular presentations will be allotted

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
