[Lexicog] Seminar + call for papers 'Dynamics of terms in specialised communication'

[ritatemmerman]

Dear colleague,
  Centrum voor vaktaal en Communicatie of Erasmushogeschool Brussel and
Centre de recherché en linguistique appliquée of the Institut
supérieur de traducteurs et interprètes (Haute École de
Bruxelles) have the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar on "The
dynamics of terms in specialised communication". The seminar will
take place on the 23rd of April 2010 at Free University of Brussels (2
Pleinlaan, 1050 Brussels), which is home to the department of Applied
Linguistics of Erasmushogeschool Brussel since 2008.

  Recent work in cognitive sciences attacks the idea that conceptual
knowledge can be stored and retrieved. It has been shown that knowing
cannot be separated from context, experience, culture and language.
Cognition is believed to be a dynamic and negotiable process in which
the creative potential of language plays an important role. The question
for the seminar is how the insight concerning the dynamics of cognition
has its impact on the study of terminology and special language as
observed in multilingual and intercultural special language
communication. Contributors to the seminar will be asked to explain how
they deal with the dynamic aspects of terminology and special language
communication.

    *   What position do the speakers take towards the dynamics of
cognition, the role of representation, embodied understanding,
situatedness, cultural context?    *  What kinds of research do they
undertake concerning cognitive dynamics, special communication and
terminology? What methodologies do they apply?    *   What types of
problems are encountered in a specific communicative setting (e.g.
multilingual, intercultural,
)? How are these problems tackled?

See programme at: http://taalkunde.ehb.be/cvc/events/seminar2010
<http://taalkunde.ehb.be/cvc/events/seminar2010>  . We hope to welcome
you in Brussels for this seminar.

The first issue in 2011 of the periodical "Terminology" will be devoted
to the theme of the seminar:



"The Dynamics of Terms in Specialized Communication. An
interdisciplinary perspective" The call for papers can be downloaded :
