CONFERENCE: LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND MIND 3


2nd Theme sessions call

The LCM committee and local organizers call for theme session proposals for
the third conference in the series Language, Culture and Mind. The
conference will be held in modern and comfortable conference facilities in
Odense 14th - 16th July 2008. The conference aims at establishing an
interdisciplinary forum for an integration of cognitive, social and cultural
perspectives in theoretical and empirical studies of language and
communication

The special theme of the conference is Social Life and Meaning Construction.

We call for contributions from scholars and scientists in anthropology,
biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, semiotics, semantics, social
interaction, discourse analysis, cognitive and neuroscience, who wish both
to impart their insights and findings, and learn from other disciplines.
Preference will be given to submissions which emphasize interdisciplinarity,
the interaction between social life, culture, mind and language, and/or
multi-methodological approaches in language and communication sciences.
