Meeting Description: 

13th International Columbia School Conference on the Interaction of Linguistic
Form and Meaning with Human Behavior With a special session on Columbia School
theory applied to language teaching

Columbia School linguistics offers a radically functional conception of
language, which is seen as a semiotic system whose structure is shaped both by
its communicative function and by the characteristics of its human users.
Grammatical analyses account for the distribution of linguistic signals as an
interaction of their linguistic meaning with pragmatic and functional factors
such as inference, ease of processing, and iconicity. The signals of meanings
can be lexical roots, grammatical affixes, and particular configurations of
syntactic orders. No assumption is made that linguistic utterances are
manifestations of sentences or sentential categories. Phonological analyses
explain the syntagmatic and paradigmatic distribution of phonological units
within signals, also drawing on both communicative function and human
physiological and psychological characteristics.

searchable bibliography of published Columbia School (CS) literature.

The Columbia School is a group of linguists developing the theoretical
framework first established by the late William Diver and his students at
Columbia University. Language is seen as a symbolic tool whose structure is
shaped both by its communicative function and by the characteristics of its
human users. In grammatical analyses, we seek to explain the distribution of
linguistic forms as an interaction between hypothesized meaningful signals and
pragmatic and functional factors such as inference, ease of processing,
iconicity, and the like. In phonological analyses, we seek to explain the
syntagmatic and paradigmatic distributions of phonological units within
signals, also drawing on both communicative function and human physiological
and psychological characteristics. The Columbia School Linguistic Society was
founded in 1996 to promote and disseminate linguistic research along these
theoretical lines.
