  About the conference

The *16th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference Conference 
(ICLC16)* will take place at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf from 
*August 7 through 11, 2023*. ICLC is the biennial meeting of the 
International Cognitive Linguistics Association (ICLA), which connects 
scholars from various linguistic disciplines and theoretical approaches 
who share a cognitive-functional view of language, according to which 
language is seen as an integral part of cognition. In recent years, 
Cognitive Linguistics has become more and more interdisciplinary, 
combining insights from typology, psycho- and neurolinguistics, language 
history, and many other areas.

We invite a broad range of papers on any topic taking a cognitive, 
functional, typological, or discourse approach to the study of language 
and cognition. Typical topics treated in the conference include, but are 
not limited to, the following:

  * cognitive grammar
  * construction grammar
  * constructicography
  * metaphor and metonymy
  * frame semantics
  * prototypes and categorization
  * cognitive phonology
  * discourse analysis
  * pragmatics and cognition
  * corpus linguistics
  * language processing
  * neurolinguistics
  * language change and grammaticalization
  * cognitive typology
  * motion and space
  * first language acquisition
  * applied linguistics and pedagogy
  * language evolution
  * translation and cognition
  * multimodality
  * sign language research
  * writing systems
  * cognitive sociolinguistics
  * cognitive semiotics

The main topic of ICLC16 is “Modeling language and cognition”. We 
particularly encourage papers discussing theoretical advances in 
modeling linguistic knowledge from a usage-based perspective, or 
empirical methods that help us get a better grasp of the “grammar 
network” using authentic data and/or computational modeling, including 
constructicography and data-based developments of linguistic resources 
of various kinds. As usual, however, we strive at representing the full 
breadth of cognitive-linguistic research. In our first in-person meeting 
since 2019, we therefore look very much forward to vivid discussions 
about papers from all domains of Cognitive Linguistics.

The organization of ICLC16 is guided by the principles summarized in the 
ICLA Statement of Diversity and Inclusion 
<https://www.cognitivelinguistics.org/about/diversity>.

All information on the conference can be found on the ICLC16 website 
<https://iclc16.com/>.

The language of the conference is English.

Our confirmed plenary speakers are:

  *   Heike Behrens, University of Basel
  *   Alice Gaby, Monash University
  *   Thomas Hoffmann, University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt
  *   Terry Janzen, University of Manitoba

For conference participation there is no requirement to be an ICLA 
member, but members will get a substantial reduction in the conference 
fees as well as enjoy other benefits (more information and member signup 
via the ICLA website <http://www.cognitivelinguistics.org/en/membership>).

The ICLA has set up a fund for student scholarships; students who have 
their abstracts for a poster or presentation accepted can apply for a 
scholarship. More details can be found here

  Call for papers

      Theme Sessions:

There are two stages for submissions for a theme session. First, theme 
session organizers should submit their theme session proposals directly 
to the conference organizers at the following address *by October 15, 2022*.

iclc16 at hhu.de

Theme session proposals should include: the session title, the name and 
affiliation of the theme session organizer, an introduction of up to 400 
words (excluding examples and references) explaining the theme, as well 
as a list of the authors and titles of the individual papers, and all 
abstracts of the papers in the proposed theme session (100 words each) 
in a suitable order.

We strongly encourage diversity at the level of the affiliations 
involved in the theme session – at least one third of the papers should 
be contributed by authors outside the affiliation of the theme session 
organizer/s. We also encourage theme session organizers to take other 
diversity aspects into account, e.g. by aiming at a good gender balance. 
The acceptance of theme session proposals will be announced by November 
15, 2022.

Once a theme session has been accepted as a whole, individual theme 
session authors will need to submit their abstracts for review, 
following the same guidelines of submission for general and poster 
sessions below. Papers need to be individually accepted in order to form 
a theme session.

      General Session and Poster Session:

Abstracts for general (oral) sessions and poster sessions are to be 
submitted through our abstract submission page, following the guidelines 
below. On the submission page you are asked to state whether the paper 
should be considered for oral session only, poster session only, or 
both. *The deadline for abstract submission is December 15, 2022*.

Each presentation slot in the general session will be 25 minutes long, 
including questions and discussions (20 minutes of presentation + 5 
minutes for questions and discussion).

Posters will be allocated to dedicated, timetabled sessions, and will be 
thematically organized in terms of time and space of display.

    Submission guidelines

The abstract submission page can be found here 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iclc16>.

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (excluding examples and 
references). Author names should not appear anywhere in the text (you 
may cite yourself as [Author] or in the third person for previously 
published work). Please copy & paste the abstract text into the 
Easychair window. A PDF file is optional at this stage. If you want to 
include figures or graphics, feel free to upload the abstract as a PDF 
and write “see pdf” in the abstract window. Theme session authors should 
make sure to note the title of the theme session at the top of their 
abstracts. References should be formatted according to the Unified Style 
Sheet for Linguistics Journals 
<https://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/unified-style-sheet>.

Each author may submit a maximum of one single-authored paper and one 
first-authored paper (or two first-authored papers), regardless of 
whether they are intended for the general, poster, or theme session.
