Meeting Description: 

AFLiCo Lecture Series 2020 (online)
Registration is free but closes on Friday, December 11 (12 noon, CET)

The Lecture Series is a new initiative by the French Cognitive Linguistics
Association (AFLiCo).

The Association has held successful biennial workshops (AFLiCo JET) for 10
years now, and the 6th edition was due to take place in Grenoble in the fall
of 2020. AFLiCo JET workshops have provided a forum for high-quality research
in cognitive linguistics and, more generally, usage-based approaches to
language (see e.g. CogniTextes special issue 19). With the COVID-19 crisis
preventing us from planning the usual gathering, we have outlined an
alternative proposal. Our 2020 workshop will be held online, and the format
will change accordingly. We will have only invited talks, and the Series will
be published in CogniTextes, the AFLiCo's online journal.

Access to the Lectures will be free and open to all, but registration is
required using the form linked from http://aflico.fr/evenmts.html.
