About LCM (http://bacon.umcs.lublin.pl/~lcm/):

Human natural languages are biologically based, cognitively motivated,
affectively rich, socially shared, grammatically organized symbolic systems.
They provide the principal semiotic means for the complexity and diversity of
human cultural life. As has long been recognized, no single discipline or
methodology is sufficient to capture all the dimensions of this complex and
multifaceted phenomenon, which lies at the heart of what it is to be human. In
the recent past, perception and cognition have been the basis of general
unifying models of language and language activity. However, a genuine
integrative perspective must also incorporate the intersubjective dimension of
cultural symbols, cultural norms and cultural practices. LCM conferences
articulate and discuss approaches to diverse genres of language activity which
aim to understand their cultural, social, cognitive and bodily foundations.
LCM conferences welcome contributions from scholars and scientists in
anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, semiotics,
semantics, discourse analysis, cognitive and neuroscience, and from other
disciplines, who wish both to impart their insights and findings, and learn
from other disciplines.
