Meeting Description:
The human mind is capable of performing a variety of tasks pertaining
to cognitive and metacognitive functions. These mental activities
essentially necessitate information processing at the fundamental
levels. The information is received through our sensorial experiences.
Thereafter, the mind creates mental images about them, and proceeds
towards forming concepts. Humans, in order to communicate these
concepts (which are built on the basis of their experience), use
verbal & written system of symbols. This systems of symbols which
expresses articulations with the purpose of conveying certain messages
possessing different forms of encrypted codified meanings is called
Language. Besides language there is another system of symbols that
generate meaning based communication which is called Culture. The
symbols of culture that express meaning are categorized as texts that
exist in eclectic forms such as material objects & artifacts,
literatures, art, performative traditions such as music, arts, dance,
body gestures, customs, rituals & practices, theatre, and cinema.
The meaning that language expresses is rooted in semiotic systems that
encompass particular social behavior, attitudes, communicative
patterns, culture specific expressions and the norms of their usage.
This becomes evident from the linguistic and non-linguistic
expressions used across communities to indicate politeness,
familiarity, honorificity; concepts of space and time; concepts of
color; and concept of kinship ties among many others. The availability
of grammatical markers for a certain thought process in a language can
facilitate the same thought process among speakers of that particular
language. Language further affects how individuals think, experience,
and theorize the world that they inhabit.
As a result, similar experiences in a cultural system are associated
with the language itself. Thus, using a certain language illustrate
the associated shared experiences. The association between language
and culture get well displayed when individuals assert their cultural
identity by exaggerating the speech characteristics, like accent. If a
language is relationally tied to the organs of its associated culture,
then a language a person/s articulates will determine how they
historically encode his or her experiences.
Studying the language sign system creates a pathway to studying mind
and mental organizations, which is further shaped by culture(s).
Therefore, studying language can be understood as studying culturally
specific cognition. It may be noted that language usage is posited
along the principal axes of similarity and difference. In the context
of understanding the relation between culture and language, it is
imperative to investigate the features of mind that are universal
despite cultural diversity and the features that vary across cultures.
This will further lead to the study of the cognitive mechanisms that
underlie the acquisition of cultural, and linguistic information.
With a view to explore the intersectional relationship of language,
culture, and mind, the Centre for Study of Contemporary Theory and
Research (CSCTR), Adamas University, in collaboration with the School
of Language and Linguistics, Jadavpur University and the Department of
Psychology, Sister Nivedita University is pleased to organize a
bi-lingual International Conference on Language, Culture and
Cognition. The conference will engage academics, research scholars,
and students into unifying psychological perspectives of cognitive
mechanisms that underlie aspects of human language processing and
development of cultural signifiers.
