Call for participation: Cog Ling in Brno 2014 (From Function to Cognition)

[Wei-lun Lu]

*Cog Ling in Brno 2014: From Function to Cognition*



Cog Ling in Brno is a forum on Cognitive Linguistics organized by the
Department of English and American Studies at the Faculty of Arts of
Masaryk University, Brno (Czech Republic). It aims to bring together
researchers interested in Cognitive Linguistics in Brno and is expected to
become a regular annual event and to expand to an international event
within five years.

The Department has a strong research tradition in Functional Linguistics,
with research specializations in Information Structure, Sociolinguistics,
Stylistics, Translation Studies, and Critical Discourse Analysis. In 2013,
we introduced Cognitive Linguistics into the curriculum with the generous
sponsorship from the European Social Fund and the Ministry of Education of
the Czech Republic (CZ.1.07/2.3.00/30.0037). In the past year, we have
witnessed an emerging synergy between Functional Linguistics and Cognitive
Linguistics in the research team of the Department.

The point of this forum is exactly to showcase our current achievements in
integrating CL into our existing research threads. We have invited three
internal members of the Department, one external member (Japanese Program)
and three outstanding students to share their ongoing projects and to
exchange ideas with people interested in CL in Brno and elsewhere. Everyone
is cordially invited to attend this event to share their ideas with us and
to discuss how to further develop CL in Brno.

If interested, please kindly contact Wei-lun Lu (weilunlu at gmail.com) to
register for attendance.
