Conference Themes:

This conference will be the seventh international conference of the French
Association for Cognitive Linguistics (AFLiCo; www.aflico.fr). The conference
welcomes proposals linking discourse and cognition from various perspectives
while taking into account how cognitive linguistics can be linked to broader
social and cultural contexts. 

The following areas are especially relevant to the theme of the conference:

- The relationship between cognitive linguistics and discourse studies
- Discourse and multimodality
- Constructionist approaches to discourse studies
- Cognitive approaches to discourse grammar
- Emergent constructions in discourse
- Discourse in L1 and L2 acquisition
- Discourse as interaction and intersubjectivity
- Language, culture and ideology: cognitive and discursive models
- Contrastive analysis of discourse as and in translation 
- Interdisciplinary applications of cognitive linguistics (education,
engineering, translation studies, …) 

The conference will not be limited to the main foci described above. The
organisers also encourage researchers to submit proposals within other areas
of cognitive linguistics, such as:

- Categorization, prototypes and polysemy
- Metaphor and metonymy
- Mental spaces and conceptual blending
- Domain and frame semantics
- Image schemas and force dynamics
- Embodiment and situated cognition
- Construction grammar(s)
- Cognitive grammar(s)
- Grammaticalization
- Empirical methods in cognitive linguistics
- …
