Meeting Description:

This year the 3rd Image Schema Day will be part of the Joint Ontology
Workshops (JOWO) 2017, hosted at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. 

Todd Oakley (Case Western Reserve University) is an invited keynote speaker
who will give the talk: ''Force dynamics and the windowing of attention''.

The workshop is intended as a meeting ground for researchers from a range of
different scientific backgrounds (e.g. linguistics, AI, psychology, arts) that
are working on image schemas and related conceptual structures. Interested
participants are encouraged to submit research papers (more info on
http://isd.inf.unibz.it) that are to be published in the JOWO proceedings, and
to actively participate at the conference.

Image schemas, in one view, can be seen as the conceptual building blocks
inferred from early sensorimotor processes. The research on image-schematic
constructs (such as VERTICALITY, CONTAINMENT, SOURCE-PATH-GOAL, or FORCE) have
traditionally been studied in cognitive linguistics, but they have also been
given some attention in, amongst other, semiotics, philosophy, developmental
psychology, and design. Recently, some schools in artificial intelligence have
also become interested in the potential impact of image schemas as a bridge
between the physical world and the human mind. 

A psychologist might study how children develop them; a philosopher might
structure them ontologically; a linguist might wonder what spatial language
and embodiment in general have to do with abstract concepts; a musicologist
might ask how image schemas are related to musical gesture; an AI specialist
might work on how to integrate image schemas into a system for natural
language understanding.

We hope to see an interdisciplinary meeting focused on the topic of image
schemas and related constructs, where participants contribute with insights
from their own discipline. 

The workshop will take place at the third Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO),
where ten ontology-centered workshops meet for three days in an exciting joint
event at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The inspiring environment,
tucked in between the South Tyrollean Alps, promises to provide an excellent
setting to discuss innovative and state of the art research. Please join us!

We look forward to seeing you in Bolzano!
Maria, Mihailo and Oliver
