Meeting Description:

Association for Cognitive Semiotics (IACS) will take place July 2-4, 2020, at

IACS 4- 2-4 July 2020
SEMIOTIC COMPLEXITIES: Theory & Analysis
Aachen, Germany
co-organized with KU Leuven, Belgium
https://iacs4.signges.de
The IACS conference series seeks to gather scholars and scientists in
semiotics, cognitive science, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy,
psychology, art history and theory, media studies, and related fields, who
wish to share their research on meaning and contribute to the
interdisciplinary endeavor of cognitive semiotics. Previous conferences were
held in Lund , Lublin, and Toronto.

Conference Theme:
The conference theme of IACS4 is “SEMIOTIC COMPLEXITIES: Theory & Analysis.”
It aims to account for the complexities of semiosis, that is, for the
intricacies of semiotic processes in a broad range of semiotic systems, with a
focus on either cognitive, monomodal, crossmodal or multimodal processes of
meaning construal. While the theme is rather broad and non-restrictive, it is
intended to encourage contributions showing how theoretical frameworks and
methods of analysis may mutually enhance each other and thus offer truly new
insights into the merits of semiotic inquiry and advance the
cross-disciplinary enterprise of cognitive semiotics.
In this light, THEORY here is meant to include influential semiotic theories
(as proposed by, e.g. Eco, Greimas, Jakobson, Lothman, Peirce, Saussure), as
well as theoretical concepts and principles that are central to cognitive
linguistics, general linguistics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and
the cognitive sciences more broadly. ANALYSIS encompasses qualitative,
quantitative and experimental methods and tools, as well as mixed-methods
approaches developed to derive emerging patterns and regularities but also
unique instances of meaning-making in both static and dynamic semiotic
fabrics.
