Meeting Description: 

The Organising Committee of the next AELCO/SCOLA conference is pleased to announce that its 7th meeting will be held in the Palace of Valdeparaiso (Almagro) under the auspices of the University of Castilla-La Mancha from September 30th  to October 2nd 2010.

The conference has chosen the topic of "Figuring the World: Cognitive Mechanisms of Thought and Discourse" and aims at creating a forum of debate on those topics related to Cognitive Linguistics (e.g. the categorization of natural languages, prototypes, metaphor and metonymy, the interaction between syntax and semantics, etc.). It also aims at offering the opportunity to discuss how people use various cognitive schemas in discourse interaction focusing on who uses them, in which situations and for which purposes.

Together with plenary talks (one hour), there will be several parallel sessions and thematic sessions (organized according to topic), as well as a poster session.

In this conference, we will also hold two thematic workshops on two different areas within Cognitive Linguistics. Thus, we will have one workshop on Cognitive Sociolinguistics and another on Sensorial Perception and the role of metaphor and etonymy in its communication. Each of these workshops will consist of 5-6 papers including keynote speakers and presentations).

We have invited the following plenary speakers:

- Ricardo Maldonado (U. Nacional Autonoma de Mexico)
- Juana Marin Arrese (U. Complutense de Madrid)
- Daniel Casasanto (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen Holanda)

We will also have two keynote speakers in order to organise and conduct the two Workshops of the conference:

- Carita Paradis (Växjo University, Sweden)
- Dirk Geraeerts (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium)
