An issue that has been of extreme interest and has gained momentum the
last decades is the exploration of identities in the anthropological
(Vargas-Cetina, 2013) and sociolinguistic paradigm (Edwards, 2009;
Omoniyi & White 2006). Individuals have challenged the idea of
identity and from being characterized by one identity are now bearers
and creators of different identities. Identity is viewed as a dynamic
trait of an individual, shaped and expressed through language
interactions (Deckert & Vickers, 2011), it“is locally situated; who we
are is, at least partially, a product of where we are and who we are
with”(Schiffrin, 1996: 198).
This online workshop aims to intersect sociolinguistic research on
identities with the Cognitive Linguistic (CL) view to language. In
terms of cognitive linguistics, the workshop aims to investigate how
metaphor, metonymy and other less represented figures in CL research
are reflected, or contribute to the creation of a person’s or a
group’s identity/ies in different social, economic, political etc.,
contexts. Apart from figurative language, other areas of interest for
exploration in their interaction with identities are Cognitive
Grammar, image schemas, frame semantics, construction grammar,
(Geeraerts, 2006: 2) and political discourse (Lakoff, 2004; Musolff et
al., 2022).
The workshop invites researchers from relevant fields who wish to
contribute with a presentation of their research, such as those
working on cognitive sociolinguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse
analysis, cognitive linguistics, semantics and pragmatics. It also
addresses those who already conduct cross-disciplinary research in the
field or are interested in getting engaged in it. For this reason,
those who are interested in expanding their research areas can ask to
be matched with other interested researchers and start a new
collaboration at the intersection of Cognitive Linguistics,
Sociolinguistics, or Anthropology. Express your collaboration interest
by 30 September 2024 here (https://forms.gle/MZV3HaFp9tZHT1Cy6).
There is provisional agreement with the series Applications of
Cognitive Linguistics by Mouton de Gruyter to publish a collective
volume with selected papers from the workshop.
