*Call for Papers - LAUD/CLIC 2018*
Dear colleagues,
It gives us great pleasure to invite you to join us at our Cultural
Linguistics conference with the overall theme
*Cultural Linguistics:**
**Current and Emerging Trends in Research on Language and Cultural
Conceptualisations*
The conference will be co-organised by *T**he 38th International LAUD
Symposium (LAUD2018)* and *The Second Cultural Linguistics International
Conference (CLIC2018)*.
*Conference dates:*
July 23 – 26, 2018
*Venue:*
Landau in der Pfalz (Germany)
Butenschoen Haus, Luitpoldstraße 8, 76829 Landau, Germany
*Call deadline:*
December 15, 2017
*Aims and scope:* Cultural Linguistics is an emerging field of research
with multidisciplinary origins that explores the relationship between
language and cultural conceptualisations. Cultural Linguistics draws on
and expands the theoretical and analytical advancements in several
disciplines and sub-disciplines, such as cognitive psychology,
Complexity Science, Distributed Cognition, and anthropology.
Applications of Cultural Linguistics have enabled fruitful
investigations of the cultural grounding of language in several domains
such as World Englishes, intercultural communication, Teaching of
English as an International Language (TEIL), and political discourse
analysis. Research carried out within these applied areas has shed
significant light on the nature of the relationship between language and
cultural conceptualisations.
The present conference has the aim to provide a forum for researchers
engaging in Cultural Linguistics to present and discuss current studies
on the link between linguistic patterns and underlying cultural
conceptualisations, the role of cultural conceptualisations in language
development and education, as well as interdisciplinary research in the
field of critical discourse analysis. It also explicitly encourages a
(critical) reflection of emerging trajectories of methodological
innovation in more recent empirical research.

Further information and resources about Cultural Linguistics can be
found on the following webpage: *http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/lsc/504-2/*
We kindly invite you to submit abstracts related to one of the following
three thematic sessions:
*A) Cultural conceptualisation and the structure of language*
Cultural Linguistics engages with lexical and structural features of
human languages that encode or instantiate culturally constructed
conceptualisations (Sharifian 2017: 2). The linguistic analysis of such
features is therefore of key significance to our understanding of the
broader cultural cognitions linked to specific languages and linguistic
varieties (ibid.: 5). Cultural Linguistics offers both a theoretical and
an analytical framework for investigating the cultural
conceptualisations that underlie actual language use.
Topics of this conference session include (but are not limited to):
• Language and cultural categorisation (e.g., COLOURS, EVENTS,
AGEING, KINSHIP, FOOD)
• Language and cultural conceptualisations of
- religion
- emotions
- gender
- animals
• Cultural Linguistics and embodied cultural metaphors
• Cultural variation: different cultural models in one language
• Intercultural re-conceptualisation (e.g., of festivals such as
Christmas and Valentine)
• Semiotics of Cultural Linguistics
• Research methods and methodology in Cultural Linguistics
• Cultural Linguistics and interdisciplinary research
*B) Applied Cultural Linguistics*
This second theme session aims to explore implications of major tenets
underlying the field of Cultural Linguistics for research on language
development and language teaching, for intercultural communication, and
for translations purposes. Language is a component of culture, a product
of culture, and a transmitter of culture all at the same time. For
bi-/multilingual language acquisition and second/foreign language
learning, this means that getting to know an additional language also
involves contact and interactions with new systems of conceptualising
experience. Culture-specific conceptualisations (meant here to comprise
a number of cognitive constructs such as cultural categories, schemas
and metaphors) are therefore likely to have an impact on the language
acquisition/learning process, but may also affect processes involved in
intercultural communication and translation.
Topics of this conference session include (but are not limited to):
• Cultural Linguistics and bilingual/bi-dialectal education/literacy
• Cultural linguistics and learning/teaching additional languages
• Cultural Linguistics and Teaching English as an International
Language (TEIL)
• Learning to (re-)conceptualise for speaking/writing
• Conceptual metaphors in language teaching
• Cultural-cognitive models in learner dictionaries
• Critical intercultural awareness in language learning/teaching
• Semantic primes and cultural scripts in language learning and
intercultural communication
• Cultural Linguistics and translation/interpreting
*C) Cultural Linguistics, Ideologies and Critical Discourse Studies*
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) explores the role that discourse
structures and practices play in the (ab)use and reproduction of power
in society and politics. It seeks to develop models and methods to
better capture the interrelationship between linguistic
choices/structures, ideologies, and socio-political power, both from a
synchronic and a diachronic perspective. Since most of human knowledge
is acquired through engaging in discourses, the studies of discourse and
knowledge are necessarily intertwined. Thus, discourse analysis also
features a cultural-cognitive component when examining underlying (and
changing) mental representations and cultural models, both within social
groups as well as individual discourse participants.
Topics of this conference session include (but are not limited to):
• Critical Cultural Linguistics
• Cultural Linguistics and political discourse analysis
• Cultural identities in public discourse
• The role of conceptual metaphor in the representation of social
groups and political events
• Cultural Linguistics, computer-mediated communication (CMC) and
social media
• Cultural conceptualisations and pragmatics
• Cultural conceptualisation and verbal/non-verbal humour
• Diachronic Cultural Linguistics
• Cultural Linguistics and corpus linguistics
This conference will provide great resources on the topic as well as
unlimited opportunities to network with prominent leaders in the field.
We look forward to seeing you in July 2018.
Submissions are invited for oral presentations on the topics described
above. Contributions can focus on results from completed as well as
ongoing research.
*ABSTRACTS FOR PRESENTATIONS*
Papers will be presented in three parallel theme sessions, with 20
minutes available per presentation and an additional 10 minutes for
discussion.
Proposals are to be submitted via email no later than *December 15, 2017*.
*conference email: <laud2018 at uni-landau.de>*
All abstracts should be in line with the following guidelines:
- MS Word format

*ABSTRACTS FOR POSTER SLAM*
Our 2018 conference will feature a new event, the “Poster Slam”. The
Slam is intended to provide a fast-paced, informative and entertaining
showcase for posters. Junior researchers who have had their poster
accepted will give a five-minute, five-slide overview of their project,
followed by a five minute discussion/feedback session with the audience.
“Slammers” will present their project in the main conference room within
a reserved time slot in order to ensure a broad and captive audience and
to provide a forum for lively discussion.
In addition, all posters will be displayed at the conference venue
throughout the entire time period of the conference.
Proposals (i.e., project outlines) are to be submitted via email no
later than *December 15, 2017*.
