Meeting Description:

Cultural Linguistics: Current and Emerging Trends in Research on Language and
Cultural Conceptualisations is a joint conference co-organised by the 38th
International LAUD Symposium
and The Second Cultural Linguistics International Conference.

Aims and scope: 

Cultural Linguistics is an emerging field of research with multidisciplinary
origins that explores the relationship between language and cultural
conceptualisations. Cultural Linguistics draws on and expands the theoretical
and analytical advancements in several disciplines and sub-disciplines, such
as cognitive psychology, Complexity Science, Distributed Cognition, and
anthropology. 

Applications of Cultural Linguistics have enabled fruitful investigations of
the cultural grounding of language in several domains such as World Englishes,
intercultural communication, Teaching of English as an International Language
(TEIL), and political discourse analysis. Research carried out within these
applied areas has shed significant light on the nature of the relationship
between language and cultural conceptualisations.

The present conference has the aim to provide a forum for researchers engaging
in Cultural Linguistics to present and discuss current studies on the link
between linguistic patterns and underlying cultural conceptualisations, the
role of cultural conceptualisations in language development and education, as
well as interdisciplinary research in the field of critical discourse
analysis. It also explicitly encourages a (critical) reflection of emerging
trajectories of methodological innovation in more recent empirical research.

the following webpage: http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/lsc/504-2/ )


Call for Papers:

We invite submissions to our three parallel thematic sessions. Links to
information about each of the thematic sessions as well as instructions for
submission to each of these can be found on the conference description page
for this conference.

Abstracts for Poster Slam:

Our 2018 conference will feature a new event, the ''Poster Slam''. The Slam is
intended to provide a fast-paced, informative and entertaining showcase for
posters. Junior researchers who have had their poster accepted will give a
five-minute, five-slide overview of their project, followed by a five minute
discussion/feedback session with the audience. ''Slammers'' will present their
project in the main conference room within a reserved time slot in order to
ensure a broad and captive audience and to provide a forum for lively
discussion.

In addition, all posters will be displayed at the conference venue throughout
the entire time period of the conference.

Proposals (i.e., project outlines) are to be submitted via email no later than
November 30, 2017 to: laud2018 at uni-landau.de

All poster abstracts should be in line with the following guidelines:

- MS Word format
