LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND MIND CONFERENCE
University of Portsmouth,
Faculty of Science - 18th-20th July 2004



Human natural languages are biologically based, cognitively motivated,
affectively rich, socially shared, grammatically organized symbolic
systems. They provide the principal semiotic means for the complexity
and diversity of human cultural life.

As has long been recognized, no single discipline or methodology is
sufficient to capture all the dimensions of this complex and
multifaceted phenomenon, which lies at the heart of what it is to be
human.

The goal of this conference is to contribute to situating the study of
language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue. Many of the
relevant disciplines have made highly significant theoretical,
methodological and empirical advances during the last decade.


Topics:
Biological and cultural co-evolution
Comparative study of communication systems
Cognitive and cultural schematization in language
Emergence of language in ontogeny and phylogeny
Language in multi-modal communication
Language and normativity
Language and thought, emotion and consciousness
