Sixth International Conference on
*Language, Culture and Mind*
June 24-26, Lublin, Poland

http://lcm6.umcs.lublin.pl/
Contact: info at lcm6.umcs.lublin.pl

Deadline for *abstract submission* of individual papers and posters: *Jan
20, 2014*.

The Sixth International Conference on Language, Culture and Mind (LCM VI)
will be held on *24-26 June 2014* at the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University
in Lublin, Poland. It will be preceded by a *Young Researchers Workshop* on
23 June 2014 (same venue), where young researchers will present their
ongoing dissertation projects and other work.

The goals of LCM conferences are to contribute to situating the study of
language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue (involving
philosophy, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, semiotics and related
fields), and to promote a better integration of cognitive and cultural
perspectives in empirical and theoretical studies of language.

Confirmed plenary speakers:
Nancy *Budwig* <http://www.clarku.edu/faculty/facultybio.cfm?id=80> (Clark
University, Psychology)
Henryk *Kardela* (Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Linguistics)
Alan *Rumsey* <https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/rumsey-al>
(Australian
National University, School of Culture, History & Language)
Farzad *Sharifian*

University, Language and Society Centre)
Beata *Stawarska* <http://philosophy.uoregon.edu/profile/stawarsk/> (University
of Oregon, Philosophy)

The theme for LCM VI is: *Inside/Out: Practice and Representation*

While some focus on the representational nature of language and mind,
others regard them as socially embedded and embodied practices. We
encourage submissions that further investigate the dynamic between practice
and representation and critically examine stereotypical or mainstream
conceptions of representations as internal and practices as external.

We invite abstract submissions for oral presentations, posters and
symposia. (Please clearly indicate your chosen format with your submission.)

Submission guidelines and formats:

• Oral presentations
Title, name, affiliation, 400 word abstract
20 min presentation + 10 minute discussion

• Posters
Title, name, affiliation, 100 word abstract
1 minute oral presentation in the main lecture hall, preceding the poster
session

• Symposia (submissions closed)
Symposium title, name and affiliation of symposium convener, an
introduction of up to 400 words explaining the theme, all symposium
abstracts, in suitable order.
90-minute symposia of 3 papers, allowing time for discussion. Up to two
90-minute symposia may be merged for proposals with 5-6 participants.
Papers in each symposium should be thematically linked.

Symposium proposers should indicate whether, if a symposium is not accepted
as a whole, they wish the individual abstracts to be considered as
individual presentations (oral or poster)

Deadline for abstract submission of symposia: Nov 30, 2013 (closed).
Deadline for abstract submission of individual papers and posters: *Jan 20,

****Young Researchers Workshop****

The LCM VI Young Researchers Workshop is a satellite event of the LCM VI
conference, aimed at graduate students and junior scholars conducting
theoretical or empirical research in language and communication including,
but not limited to cognitive, social, affective, embodied and/or cultural
perspectives. The workshop aims at providing a forum for presenting results
and foster interaction and debate in the context of interdisciplinary
collaboration.

Young researchers in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy,
psychology, semiotics, semantics, discourse analysis, cognitive and
neuroscience are invited to share, and thereby enrich, their study of human
natural language and communication. A specialist’s comment on each accepted
contribution makes the workshop a unique opportunity to receive expert
feedback.
