Meeting Description:

The relation between language and culture has received a lot of attention in
academic scholarship of the recent decades with a conclusion that cultural and
linguistic experiences are interconnected and mutually affect each other.
Cultural practices and values which societies “live by” are reflected in
linguistic structures through metaphors and other conceptualizations (e.g.
image and event schemas, frames and scripts). They are entrenched in everyday
linguistic usage, clichés and frequent expressions, oral and written
literature. At the same time, their manifestations in frequent use lead to
emergence of “cultural cognition” and provide cultural models to follow and
possibly develop in novel ways.

The conference will focus on language-culture relationship in Kiswahili and
other languages of East Africa inviting scholars of linguistics, literature
and broad areas of cultural studies.
