For this edition of the Poznań Linguistic Meeting, we invite
participants to engage with the leitmotif “Linguistics in dialogue:
looking for parallels beyond language.” We would like to encourage
reflection on how linguistic phenomena can be illuminated/informed by
other domains.
Linguistics has long relied on analogies to describe, explain, and
model language: language as a system, as a network, as a biological
capacity, as a cultural phenomenon. Such metaphors often shape the
questions we ask and the methods we adopt. At the same time, insights
from neighbouring disciplines, for example from biology, medicine,
cognitive science, anthropology, physics, computer science, or the
arts, have challenged and enriched linguistic theory.
With this year’s leitmotif, we invite contributions that explore how
looking beyond language can deepen our understanding of it. Which
analogies are productive, and where do they reach their limits? How do
metaphors guide linguistic thinking, and when do they constrain it?
We welcome submissions from all areas of linguistics, as well as
interdisciplinary perspectives, that engage with comparison, analogy,
and cross-disciplinary dialogue, whether by borrowing tools, concepts,
or ways of thinking. Proposals of thematic/workshop sessions and
papers are invited for both oral and poster presentations related to
the leitmotif, as well as to other topics within modern linguistics.
