>OBJECTIVE
>
>The conference will address the problem of the relationships
>between language structure and the structure of
>consciousness (and unconscious) in the context of the
>current studies in linguistics, psycholinguistics,
>neurolinguistics, philosophy of mind and language, and the
>adjacent disciplines and fields of study in cognitive
>sciences. The topics under discussion include (but are not
>limited to) phonetics/phonology interface and the structure
>of awareness, lexical access, the phenomena of
>grammaticalization, the syntax/semantics interface, the
>problem of metacognition, language testing and language
>awareness, metaphorical language and consciousness,
>discourse and consciousness, conscious/unconscious code
>switching and the ways of its interpretation, the dialogical
>structure of consciousness, etc. Two main types of
>contributions would be especially welcome. The first one is
>of review type giving the state-of-the-art in some field of
>research from the point of view of its appropriacy to the
>study of the structure of empirical consciousness. The other
>one is of papers which are data-oriented or develop some
>aspect(s) of a given theory.
