Meeting Description:

The conference, organised by the University of Rzeszow, is aimed at
viewing language as a both cultural and cognitive phenomenon. This
edition’s leading theme is:
Current approaches to discourse analysis

Intending to stay in touch with challenges and problems of the
contemporary world, discourse analysis focuses on how language both
shapes and is shaped by social, cultural and cognitive contexts. Thus,
linguists involved in discourse studies have been constantly
addressing current social issues, such as, the censorship of offensive
metaphors, anti-immigrant attitudes among politicians, figurative
conceptualisation of emotions accompanying death of a child or
metaphorical scenarios in conspiracy theories. Given this, we would
like to suggest submissions concerning the analysis of discourses on
issues relevant to the contemporary society, e.g.
 - Power and ideology
 - Manipulation vs persuasion
 - Misinformation: fake news and conspiracy theories
 - Prejudice and stereotypes
 - Inequality
 - Crisis and conflict (social, inter- and intra-personal, etc.)
 - Identity (social, national, gender, etc.)
 - Relationships
 - Health and illness
 - Natural world

The Department of English Studies at the University of Rzeszów has the
pleasure of announcing the fourth edition of the conference Culture
and Cognition in Language: CCL 4. The conference is aimed at viewing
