Meeting Description:

Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics 7 – João Pessoa, Brazil 
August 2 -8, 2015

https://sites.google.com/site/emcl7joaopessoabrazil/

To precede the 7th Conference on Linguistics and Cognition (7a Conferência Linguística e Cognição) August 9-11, 2015
http://cogvii.virtual.ufpb.br

EMCL is a workshop series that brings together researchers who study language from different perspectives, to develop a joint project over the course of a week.

The goal of EMCL is to facilitate dialogue among language researchers with different methodological backgrounds, i.e. those working on theory, experimentation, corpus linguistics, etc. We do this by creating an environment where researchers with varying levels of expertise learn from each other by developing a research project together where their various skills are combined.  

Intended audience: Language researchers with an embodiment, situated cognition and/or cognitive linguistics background. No prior experimental or corpus training is required though an understanding of the theoretical issues is necessary. Participants can be at different early stages in their careers, i.e. graduate students/post-grads, post-docs, junior faculty, etc.

Call for Participants:

Application deadline: February 28, 2015
Notification of Acceptance: March 15, 2015

We invite applications for the 7th Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics workshop to be held in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, August 2 -8, 2015, pending confirmation of funding.

Format: Participants will join one of seven hands-on mini-labs for the duration of the week-long workshop. Each mini-lab will be responsible for completing a joint research project. A select group of students (max. eight per group for a total of 56) will be invited to participate. Each group will work with two researchers who will guide them in selecting an idea to investigate. They will then participate in structuring and organizing a research project, and carrying it out. The session will end with a mini-conference where findings will be presented, followed by a general discussion. 

The minilabs for EMCL 7 are as follows.
