Meeting Description:

Every two years the Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (AELCO) organizes an international conference that harbours the various domains in which its members are active. From 17 to 19 October 2012 the University of Almería (Spain) hosts its 8th edition under the theme Construals in Language, Thought and Brain: What Shapes What?

This conference aims to bring in an open floor for discussions, debates, reflection and sharing the features, topics, puzzles, methods, trends, schools and heresies within the field of Cognitive Linguistics. One of the major strands or orientations nowadays in Cognitive Linguistics refers to research in psycholinguistics and anthropological linguistics. The aim is to create an opportunity for assessing the state of the art today, the pros and the cons of the field, the added values and also the question marks that might strengthen or weaken the new profile of Cognitive Linguistics. As a distinctive field we are led to inquire not only about the relation of grammar (i.e., form-meaning pairing) to mind, but also about the physical embodiment of the linguistic competence in the brain, and to see what shapes what.

2nd Call for Papers:

We cordially invite researchers, working within the field of Cognitive Linguistics - though not restricted to it - to submit paper proposals on theoretical and applied studies on language and cognition. We also encourage workshop proposals.

Abstract Submission:

We invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations, plus 10-minute discussion, and abstracts for posters. They should be written in English or Spanish. Abstracts submitted for consideration should clearly state the problem, objectives, methodology, and possible results/findings. Their length must be between 400 and 500 words, and they should include title, 5 keywords and references - a maximum of 8. No more than a page length, Times New Roman 12, figures included.

Paper, poster and workshop proposals should be sent via email as an attachment (in .doc format) to: 

aelco at ual.es

The attached files must only include the title of the contribution in boldface and the abstract itself (including keywords and references). Please do not include the author's details in the attachment. 

Please include the following information in the 'subject' of the email: 

AELCO 2012 - Paper Proposal 
AELCO 2012 - Poster Proposal 
AELCO 2012 - Workshop Proposal

And the following information in the 'body' of the email:

Type of contribution (Paper, poster or workshop) 
Title of the contribution 
Author's full name 
Affiliation 
Address (electronic and postal) 
Phone number 

Organising a Workshop:

We encourage workshop proposals. They should contain: 

(i) A 1000 word description of the topic (including the research questions to be addressed)
(ii) A list of workshop participants and 300 word abstracts of their papers

Since we want conference participants to be able to attend individual workshop presentations, workshops need to be compatible with the main conference schedule. This means that the format of the workshops must be organized around 30 minute presentations (20 min. + 10 min. discussion). Workshops will contain 10 slots (corresponding to 1 day); each workshop ideally comprises: (a) an introductory paper by the convenor/s or by a key-note speaker, which summarizes previous research, specifies the approach/es to be taken and sets the scope of the papers to be presented; (b) eight papers; (c) a slot for final discussion on the topics covered by the papers, methodological issues and questions for future research.

Posters:

There will be a poster session of an hour for both senior and junior researchers. In order to foster interaction, all other sessions will be suspended during the poster session. Posters may remain available during the rest of the conference. The maximum size of the poster is 1.20 m (vertical) x 0.90 m (horizontal). For more information about how to make a good poster, see http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/posterpres.html.

Awards:

The Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association, in its biennial international conference, aims to promote the participation of young researchers as follows:

AELCO Best Oral Pre-doctoral Presentation Award (for PhD students)
AELCO Best Poster Award
