Meeting Description:

This second theme session aims to explore implications of major tenets
underlying the field of Cultural Linguistics for research on language
development and language teaching, for intercultural communication, and for
translations purposes. Language is a component of culture, a product of
culture, and a transmitter of culture all at the same time. For
bi-/multilingual language acquisition and second/foreign language learning,
this means that getting to know an additional language also involves contact
and interactions with new systems of conceptualising experience.
Culture-specific conceptualisations (meant here to comprise a number of
cognitive constructs such as cultural categories, schemas and metaphors) are
therefore likely to have an impact on the language acquisition/learning
process, but may also affect processes involved in intercultural communication
and translation. 

Topics of this conference session include (but are not limited to):

- Cultural Linguistics and bilingual/bi-dialectal education/literacy
- Cultural linguistics and learning/teaching additional languages
- Cultural Linguistics and Teaching English as an International Language
(TEIL)
- Learning to (re-)conceptualise for speaking/writing
- Conceptual metaphors in language teaching
- Cultural-cognitive models in learner dictionaries
- Critical intercultural awareness in language learning/teaching
- Semantic primes and cultural scripts in language learning and intercultural
communication
- Cultural Linguistics and translation/interpreting
