THE 2008 SLAVIC COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS CONFERENCE (SCLC-2008)
May 29, 2008

The Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association (SCLA) announces the  
call for papers for the SCLC-2008 annual conference. We are very  
pleased to hold SCLC-2008 in conjunction with the Cognitive and  
Functional Perspectives on Dynamic Tendencies in Languages conference  
of the Estonian Cognitive Linguistics Association (ECLA) in Tartu,  
Estonia (May 29-June 1, 2008). For more information on the ECLA  
conference, the venue, plenary lecturers, etc., please see the ECLA  
website:
	http://www.fl.ut.ee/kttdk/ecla

We plan to run either a single session or parallel sessions  
(depending on the number of submissions) for the full day of May 29,  
2008. The ECLA conference will hold a reception that evening and  
start in earnest on May 30. Since our SCLA panels will run entirely  
on May 29, you will be free to fully enjoy the ECLA conference and  
it's wonderful group of keynote speakers (Bernd Heine, Ronald  
Langacker, Ewa Dabrowska, and Martin Haspelmath).

CALL FOR PAPERS
Abstracts are invited for presentations addressing issues of  
significance for cognitive linguistics with some bearing on data from  
the Slavic languages. As long as there is a cognitive orientation,  
papers may be in any of the traditional areas of synchronic or  
diachronic phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,  
discourse analysis or sociolinguistics.

Presentations may be in the native language of the presenter;  
however, if the presentation is not to be made in English we ask that  
you provide the abstract in English in addition to an abstract in any  
other language.

Abstracts may be submitted up until the deadline of January 15, 2008  
to Steven Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu>. Abstracts should be 500-750  
words, but strict word limits are not required. Notification of  
acceptance will be provided by February 15, 2008.

We hope you will be able to join us for SCLC-2008. Please forward  
this call for papers to your colleagues and graduate students who may  
be interested in presenting or attending.

Sincerely,

Steven Clancy			Tore Nesset
