Meeting Description:
The Second Conference on Language, Discourse and Cognition (CLDC-2) will be held
on May 17-18, 2008 on the main campus of National Taiwan University, Taipei,

and more fundamental to theories in functional and cognitive linguistics. The
aim of this conference is to bring together researchers interested in cognition,
semantics and discourse properties of language to exchange research findings and
foster the development of research in these areas. We welcome contributions to
all aspects of language study, with a special focus on the interface of
discourse, language and cognition.
