Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 15-Dec-2017 

Meeting Description:

In recent years, Frame Semantics has become a subject of intensive research in
an ever-increasing number of domains other than lexicography, which had long
been its main field of application (first of all in the well-known FrameNet
project). This broadening of scope has led to increased attention being paid
to the potential of Frame Semantics in fields as diverse as discourse
linguistics (Ziem 2008), constructional approaches to grammar (Lasch & Ziem
2011), conceptual approaches to metaphor (Sullivan 2013), terminology (Faber
2012), and translation studies (Čulo 2013)—and beyond linguistics in computer
sciences or AI—, giving rise to a range of new research methodologies and
paradigms. One of the most important achievements of these recent frame-based
approaches is that they not only focus on lexical units but also on larger
linguistic units, such as sentences, utterances, discourse routines or whole
texts.

Yet, so far, Frame Semantics has only received limited attention in
phraseology research, although there are clear parallels between the concepts
of phrase frame, formulaic frame or lexical frame used in analysing formulaic
language and Frame Semantics proper. However, semantic frames being designed
to allow for a uniform representation of the meanings not only of words, but
also of sentences and texts, they hold great potential for the study of
phraseology and, more generally, syntactic and semantic frozenness. 

Furthermore, the increased interest of phraseology scholars in cognitive
linguistic theories, such as conceptual metaphor (Lakoff & Johnson 2003) and
conceptual blending theory (Fauconnier & Turner 2003), raises the question of
how cognitive frame theories—as developed by Minsky (1975) and Barsalou
(1992)—can be put to use in studying phraseology, with a special focus on
idioms and figurative language.

Call for Papers:

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers working in these fields in
order to discuss all these (hidden) potentials in a more or less systematic
way. The contributions can deal, among others, with the following questions:

- How do conceptual structures represented by frames give rise to formulaic
expressions?
- How do semantic explanations of phraseological constructions appeal to
frames for background information?
- How can semantic and conceptual frames complement each other in the field of
phraseology?
- How can corpus-based phraseology make use of Frame Semantics?
- How can Frame Semantics be implemented in phraseography?

Proposals should be written in English, and include a title, a 250-word
abstract (excluding references), 5 keywords, and a short bionote. Proposals
are due by December 15 at the latest, and should be sent to
laurent.gautier at u-bourgogne.fr and varga at uni-mainz.de.
