With the world experiencing events and changes of historical proportions, such
as the pandemic, the attack of Russia on Ukraine, the climate crisis, the
transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy, political
leaders, policy makers, and stakeholders have had to introduce, promote, - or
even deny - changes and events that alter the status quo and affect the public
directly or indirectly.
In physical space, motion entails constant change and evolution; when
political language is in motion it is used dynamically in order to accommodate
and account for policy change. Political Language in Motion aims to actively
address the issue of the way politicians, policy makers, and stakeholders make
use of conceptual tools and draw from central islands of the Cognitive
Linguistics archipelago (cognitive grammar, conceptual metaphor, image schema,
metonymy, frame semantics, construction grammar,...) (Geeraerts, 2006: 2) in
political discourse (Charteris-Black, 2005; Lakoff, 2004; Musolff et al.,
2022; Perrze et al., 2019; Vogiatzis, 2022), synchronically or diachronically,
in order to address events/changes that are taking place or that will take
place in the future.

The workshop welcomes proposals, in the framework of Cognitive Linguistics, on
both verbal and multimodal communication that examine the use of language and
modalities in different contexts such as: social media, crisis communication,
strategic communication, disinformation, print and/or digital press,
parliamentary addresses, corporate communication, NGOs, to name but a few. All
researchers will be allocated 15 minutes for presentation, plus 5 minutes for
discussion.

Abstracts should be up to 250 words and must be sent to (Google forms)
https://forms.gle/KbvY88ojiHvjxu9U9 by November 30th, 2022.

Keynote speakers:
Dr. Veronika Koller, Lancaster University
Dr. Anaïs Augé, University of Louvain, Institute of Political Sciences
Louvain-Europe (ISPOLE)
(+Speaker: TBA)

The workshop will take place via Zoom. Fees: free
