SYMPOSIUM ANNOUNCEMENT
MEANING, METAPHOR & RELIGION: COGNITIVE SEMANTICS AND THE BIBLE
The importance of a cognitive theory of meaning for the study of
religious language
University of Leuven, 6-8 July 1998
AIM OF THE MEETING
This symposium aims at determining how a cognitively inspired theory
of meaning (taken in the broad sense) provides the study of religious
language with new valuable insights. Specifically, it will be
investigated to what extent established and ongoing research into the
semantics of bible texts is supported and/or questioned by the
cognitive semantic paradigm. Although this meeting is primarily
conceived from a linguistic point of view, it is not meant for
linguists alone. Instead, it explicitly aims to bring together
semantic expertise from both linguistics and theology in order to
explore some of the possibilities and limitations of a combined study
of religious language.
WHERE?
The symposium takes place in Leuven (B) at the historical Begijnhof
site (Chievre house & Faculty Club)
