Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science 

Call Deadline: 15-Sep-2021 

Meeting Description:

A four-day event organised by the Department of Cognitive Linguistics at the
Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań is already the sixth
in a series of meetings aimed at presenting and discussing current research on
the intersection of figurative thought and language, following the conferences
in Thessaloniki (2014), Pavia (2015), Osijek (2017), Braga (2018) and Sophia
(2020). We have chosen “Dynamicity, schematicity and variation in Figurative
Thought and Language” as the leitmotif of the conference in recognition of how
much the field of cognitive studies has grown since its inception and how wide
a range of issues, perspectives and methodologies it presently covers.

Plenary speakers who have kindly confirmed their participation:
- Herbert L. Colston
- Irene Mittleberg
- Julien Perrez
- Elżbieta Tabakowska


Call for Papers: 

We invite theoretical and empirical contributions representing various takes
on the interplay between language and mind, synchronic and diachronic,
adopting a panoply of methodologies (e.g., quantitative studies, experimental
techniques, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic comparisons, CDA,
sociovariational analysis, translation). Suggested topics include (but are not
restricted to):
- dynamicity and variation in figurative language and thought
- figuration in gesture and multimodal expression
- embodiment and figuration
- figuration and emotions
- figuration and ideology
- figurative language and thought in story-telling

Abstract submission: 
Submission deadline: 15 September 2021
Notification of acceptance: 31 October 2021

Fully anonymous abstracts of 300 words (excluding references) must be
submitted via EasyChair. Accepted file formats are .pdf, .doc(x) and .rtf.
Please include up to five keywords at the top of the abstract to facilitate
the reviewing effort. The languages of the conference are English and Polish.

Each presentation will last 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for discussion.
