Meeting Description:

AFLICO 9: EMBODIED AND ECOLINGUISTIC APPROACHES TO COGNITIVE
LINGUISTICS

The term "cognitive linguistics" describes one of the main branches in
modern linguistics and it encompasses different approaches, theories,
and methodologies. The cornerstone of cognitive linguistics is the
assumption that language is an integral part of human cognition.
Considering that general cognition is deeply embodied and that
language is an integral part of cognition, the only possible
conclusion is that language is also embodied. Embodiment is a
construct that cuts across many disciplines, such as cognitive
science, philosophy, psychology and sociology (Wen & Taylor 2020) and
which has gained a lot of ground in the last decades thanks to
converging studies from various fields, including psychological
studies (Barsalou 1999, Mandler 2010), neural and neurophysiological
experiments (Glenberg & Kaschak 2002, Zwaan 2004, Tettamanti et al.
2005, Bergen 2012), and even robotic engineering (Steels 2005, Wen &
Jiang 2020).
Language does not reflect the external world in an objective way, but
rather in the way in which the individual has conceptualized this
reality according to their experience, knowledge and environment
(Langacker 1987, Johnson 1987, Lakoff 1987, Talmy 1988). In order to
understand the structure of our conceptual apparatus, it is therefore
necessary to consider its physical and cultural substratum, in its
broadest sense. Additionally, as humans do not only belong to
different cultures and different societies but also to the larger
ecosystems that all forms of life depend on, it seems essential to
have a broad definition of "environment". The ecolinguistic dimension
of language thus appears to be crucial for a better understanding of
language variations in time and space. Therefore, the interactions
between language and environment will be given particular attention
during this conference. (Halliday 2001, Steffensen & Fill 2014, Stibbe
2014).
Another central tenet of cognitive linguistics is the belief that
language is constructed through a usage-based process. Specifically,
human beings learn language through ongoing linguistic experience,
which allows them to understand how the different elements of a
language are conceptualized, how they function, and how they relate to
each other (phonemes, words, categories, constructions, etc.). This
hypothesis has had a particular impact on the development of
constructional theories (Langacker 1987, Goldberg 1995) and allows for
the explanation of synchronic and diachronic language patterns. It has
also had a great influence on theories of acquisition, regarding
children (Tomasello 1992), adults and second language learning (Bybee
2006, Ellis 2008).

Call for Papers:

Lyon will welcome the 9th biennial international conference of AFLiCo,
the French Association for Cognitive Linguistics (www.aflico.fr) from
May 15-17, 2024. It follows the previous AFLiCo international
conferences held in Bordeaux (2005), Lille (2007, 2013), Nanterre
(2009), Lyon (2011), Grenoble (2015), Liege (2017) and Mulhouse
(2019). We welcome 20-minute presentations (with 8 minutes for
follow-up questions) from students and researchers interested in
cognitive linguistics, and more specifically on embodied and
ecolinguistic approaches to cognitive linguistics. However, as in
previous editions, the conference will not be limited to thematic
sessions devoted to the main foci described below. The organisers also
encourage researchers to submit proposals within all areas of
cognitive linguistics.

- Submission: July 1 to Oct 15, 2023
- Notification of acceptance: Dec 1, 2023
- Registration: from Jan 1, 2024
