Meeting Description:

LANGUAGE IN CONTEXT: PERSPECTIVES FROM LINGUISTICS, TRANSLATION STUDIES, AND
LANGUAGE EDUCATION

The Białystok-Kiev series of conferences on theoretical and applied
linguistics, co-organized by the University of Białystok and the Borys
Grinchenko Kiev University, was launched in 2017. The main goal of the
initiative is to contribute significantly to the study of language in
connection with the constant changes occurring in today's world. The
organizers' aim is to focus on various dimensions of linguistics as related to
a large number of disciplines within the humanities, the social sciences, and
the arts.

The conference is intended as a platform for scholars from different
disciplinary backgrounds, particularly in relation to various research areas
connected with language, including cognitive linguistics, socio- and
psycholinguistics, contrastive linguistics, cultural linguistics, discourse
analysis, language acquisition and learning, lexicology and lexicography,
specialist languages in use and translation, terminology and terminography,
and translation studies. The conference is intended to explore both empirical
and theoretical findings in linguistic research as well as their pedagogical
application.

Call for Papers: 

The special theme of the conference this year, Language in Context:
Perspectives from Linguistics, Translation Studies, and Language Education,
aims to focus the attention of all scholars exploring language on its
communicative meaning and the scope of its nature. Our goal is to concentrate,
inter alia, on how meaning is constructed in different types of discourse, how
context influences language use, how language might be influenced by human
cognition, and how all of these elements relate to the shaping of human
identity. We would also like to concentrate on the extent to which the context
of language impacts natural language processing, language understanding, and
language interpretation. In analysing these issues, we would like to combine a
wide array of perspectives, including but not limited to: cognitive
linguistics, anthropolinguistics, biolinguistics, biosemiotics, computational
linguistics, clinical linguistics, ecological linguistics, forensic
linguistics, neurolinguistics, posthumanist applied linguistics, socio- and
psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, cognitive translatology,
ecotranslatology, as well as terminology and terminography.

Possible sub-themes include but are not limited to the following subject
areas: 
- applied cognitive linguistics,
- cognitive translatology,
- constructional and embodied approach to grammar,
- interlinguistic and intercultural pragmatics,
- issues in first and second language learning,
- language and cognition,
- language and identity,
- language and situatedness,
- language processing and language acquisition,
- terminology and terminography, and
- the newest trends in foreign language teaching.

Proposals in other relevant research areas are also welcome.
