Meeting Description:

The CLAVeS Research Center (https://www.unive.it/claves, English version
www.unive.it/claves-eng) is pleased to announce that the 1st “Language,
Languages, and Post-Cognitivism” conference will be held at Ca’ Foscari
University in Venice, Italy, on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 July 2022.

The conference, organized by CLAVeS (Cognition, Language, Action and
Sensibility Venetian Seminar) at Ca’ Foscari University, aims to provide to
these and other questions about the ontology of languages, the definition of
language, the role of linguistically mediated interaction in our lives. The
aim is to gather philosophers, psychologists, linguists, and literary scholars
to address a common theme that can and should be studied in an ever-growing
strict collaboration between complementary disciplinary approaches.

Call for Papers:

Language, Languages and Post-Cognitivism

What is “a language''? Could languages possibly be a natural kind? Are
languages relevant for our day-to-day (inter)actions in the world, and how?
How to rethink language altogether under the new sciences of the mind? Can the
linguistics of languages be integrated with, e.g., ecological-enactive
paradigms? How to overcome the difficulties of explaining language under a
non-mechanistic view of the mind and still be able to account for patterns of
regularities? How is the empirical study of linguistic relativity changing
nowadays? And how can philosophical reflection inform such studies? Are
notions like that of “languaging” capable of taking into account linguistic
diversity and its effects? Should the very notion of “language” be radically
rethought, in favor of wider models of human interaction? How is cognitive
psychology to address the challenges of ecological validity in the empirical
study of language? Moreover, is there a way in which literary works of fiction
that are built around the difference of languages can enter this debate? Can
they shed a different – but needed – kind of light on our understanding of
linguistic diversity beyond the cognitive?

The conference, organized by CLAVeS (Cognition, Language, Action and

Abstracts must be sent via e-mail, in PDF or equivalent format, BOTH to
llpc.venice at gmail.com AND filippo.batisti at unive.it. They should be between 400
and 800 words long, including a mandatory list of references (at least 5).
Abstracts need not be anonymized. Authors are encouraged to state in their
e-mail, along with their affiliation, whether they belong to a
underrepresented group. Authors should also state whether they are PhD/MA
students.

The language of the conference will be English. We support the Barcelona
Principles for a Globally Inclusive Philosophy, meaning that abstracts will
not be evaluated on their conformity to standardized varieties of native
English, but rather on their intrinsic quality, relevance to the conference,
and overall intelligibility.

Selected abstracts will get a presentation + discussion slot of 20+10 minutes.

Submissions must be sent before April 30, 2022 at 23.59 UTC+2 (Rome time).

Acceptance will be communicated in early May.

There will be no registration fee for accepted speakers, although they will
have to pay for their own accommodation, meals, and travel.
