Grafmiller, Rachel Hatchard, Jeannette Littlemore, Gerardo Ortega, Amanda
Patten, Adam Schembri


Call for Papers:

We are now inviting paper submissions, as well as workshop proposals (see
below). We aim to cover a wide range of research including, but not limited
to, the following topics:

- Functional and usage-based approaches to language
- Cognitive grammar and construction grammar
- Cognitive/constructionist approaches to linguistic diversity and typology
- Metaphor, metonymy, blends and other forms of figurative language
- Cognitive semantics and frame semantics
- Prototypes and categorization
- Cognitive discourse analysis
- Cognitive pragmatics
- Cognitive semiotics
- Cognitive approaches to historical linguistics
- Language evolution
- Language acquisition
- Experimental semantics and pragmatics
- Sign language research
- Linguistic relativity
- Language and space
- Language and perception
- Gesture and multimodality
- Iconicity
- Embodied cognition and situated cognition
​
Cognitive linguistics is by definition highly interdisciplinary, and so in
addition to primarily linguistic research, we also invite language related
submissions that are based on disciplines such as (cognitive and social)
psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, anthropology, biology, artificial
intelligence, and discourse and communication studies.

​Talks will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions and discussion. There
will also be a poster session. The language of the conference is English.

​Abstracts of no more than 500 words (excluding references) should be
submitted using EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ukclc2020

All abstracts will be subject to double-blind peer review by an international
scientific committee (and should therefore not contain author names).
Participants will be allowed to present at most one talk (as a single or first
author) and one poster. However, there is no restriction on the number of
co-authored papers. Upon submission, you will be asked to indicate if you
intend the submission for a talk or a poster.

Pre-Conference Workshops:

UKCLC 2020 will host a selection of workshops on 27 July 2020, the day before
the conference. We are calling for workshop proposals related to any theme
from the main conference, as well as skill-based topics (e.g. corpus
linguistics, reproducible research methods, data visualization, statistics,
professional development, gesture analysis, multimodal data analysis, video
annotation). The workshops will be 3 hours long, which may be structured as
suitable for the topic.

Workshop proposals should contain a maximum 300-word summary of the topic and
its importance to cognitive linguistics, as well as brief summaries (2-3
sentences) of the specific contributions of proposed speakers. Please be
specific about how you plan to organize the 3 hours.

Proposals, and any questions, should be emailed to Marcus Perlman at
m.perlman at bham.ac.uk. The deadline for submission is December 30, 2019.
