    Abstracts:

We invite the submission of abstracts (for talks or poster 
presentations) addressing all aspects of Cognitive Linguistics.  These 
include, but are by no means limited to:

·         Domains and frame semantics

·         Categorisation, prototypes and polysemy

·         Metaphor and metonymy

·         Mental spaces and conceptual blending

·         Cognitive and construction grammar

·         Embodiment and linguistic relativity

·         Language acquisition and language impairment

·         Language evolution and language change

·         Language use


     

Cognitive Linguistics is an inherently interdisciplinary enterprise 
which is broadly concerned with the connection between language and 
cognition in relation to body, culture and contexts of use.  We 
therefore invite interdisciplinary research that combines theories and 
methods from across the cognitive, biological and social sciences.  
These include, but are not limited to:

·         Linguistics

·         Psycholinguistics

·         Anthropology

·         Evolution

·         Paleoanthropology

·         Primatology

·         Neuroscience

·         Cognitive and developmental psychology

·         Discourse and Communication studies

 

Talks will be allocated 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for question.  
Posters will stay up for a day and be allocated to dedicated, timetabled 
sessions.  The language of the conference is English.
