Call Deadline: 15-Dec-2017 

Meeting Description:

Cultural Linguistics engages with lexical and structural features of human
languages that encode or instantiate culturally constructed conceptualisations
(Sharifian 2017: 2). The linguistic analysis of such features is therefore of
key significance to our understanding of the broader cultural cognitions
linked to specific languages and linguistic varieties (ibid.: 5). Cultural
Linguistics offers both a theoretical and an analytical framework for
investigating the cultural conceptualisations that underlie actual language
use.
 
Topics of this conference session include (but are not limited to):

- Language and cultural categorisation (e.g., COLOURS, EVENTS, AGEING,
KINSHIP, FOOD)
- Language and cultural conceptualisations of: 

-- Religion
-- Emotions
-- Gender
-- Animals

- Cultural Linguistics and embodied cultural metaphors
- Cultural variation: different cultural models in one language
- Intercultural re-conceptualisation (e.g., of festivals such as Christmas and
Valentine)
- Semiotics of Cultural Linguistics
- Research methods and methodology in Cultural Linguistics
- Cultural Linguistics and interdisciplinary research

This conference will provide great resources on the topic as well as unlimited
opportunities to network with prominent leaders in the field. We look forward
to seeing you in July 2018.
