2nd Call For Papers

Extended deadline: May 15th, 2010
 
Conference theme:  Grammatical analysis and the discovery of meaning
 
Papers are invited which propose language-specific analyses of natural 
discourse data within any framework in which languages are viewed as 
semiotic systems.   Particularly encouraged are submissions that advance 
semantic hypotheses to account for the distribution of linguistic form.
The Columbia School is a group of linguists developing the theoretical 
framework originally established by the late William Diver.  Language is seen 
as a symbolic tool whose structure is shaped both by its communicative 
function and by the characteristics of its human users.  Grammatical 
analyses account for the distribution of linguistic forms as an interaction 
between linguistic meaning and pragmatic and functional factors such as 
inference, ease of processing, and iconicity.  Phonological analyses explain 
the syntagmatic and paradigmatic distribution of phonological units within 
signals, also drawing on both communicative function and human 
physiological and psychological characteristics.
