>> SECOND CALL FOR
>> LANGUAGE CULTURE AND MIND CONFERENCE (LCM 2)
>>
>> INTEGRATING PERSPECTIVES AND METHODOLOGIES IN THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE
>>
>> PARIS 17-20 JULY 2006
>>
>> The second ‘Language Culture and Mind’ Conference (LCM 2) will be  held 
>> in Paris in July 2006, following the successful first LCM  conference in 
>> Portsmouth in 2004. The goals of LCM conferences are  to contribute to 
>> situating the study of language in a contemporary  interdisciplinary 
>> dialogue, and to promote a better integration of  cognitive and cultural 
>> perspectives in empirical and theoretical  studies of language.
>>
>> The second edition will be held at the École Nationale Supérieure  des 
>> Télécommunications (ENST), 46 rue Barrault, 75013 Paris France.  Further 
>> information concerning the organization, accommodation and  fees will be 
>> provided as soon as available at the site of the  conference: 
>> http://www.lcm2006.net
>>
>> PROVISIONAL TIMETABLE
>> Deadline for submissions:  January 15 (for further detail see 
>> underneath)
>> Notification to authors by March 30, 2006
>> Pre-registration by April 15, 2006
>>
>> PRESENTATION
>> 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.
>>
>> In the recent past, perception and cognition have been the basis of 
>> general unifying models of language and language activity. However,  a 
>> genuine integrative perspective should also involve such  essential 
>> modalities of human action as: empathy, mimesis,  intersubjectivity, 
>> normativity, agentivity and narrativity.  Significant theoretical, 
>> methodological and empirical advancements  in the relevant disciplines 
>> now provide a realistic basis for such  a broadened perspective.
>>
>> This conference will articulate and discuss approaches to human  natural 
>> language and to diverse genres of language activity which  aim to 
>> integrate its cultural, social, cognitive and bodily  foundations. We 
>> call for contributions from scholars and scientists  in anthropology, 
>> biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology,  semiotics, semantics, 
>> discourse analysis, cognitive and  neuroscience, who wish both to impart 
>> their insights and findings,  and learn from other disciplines. 
>> Preference will be given to  submissions which emphasize 
>> interdisciplinarity, the interaction  between culture, mind and language, 
>> and/or multi-methodological  approaches in language sciences.
>> Topics include but are not limited to the relation between language  and:
>> - biological and cultural co-evolution
>> - comparative study of communication systems, whether animal or 
>> artificial
>> - cognitive and cultural schematization
>> - emergence in ontogeny and phylogeny
>> - multi-modal communication
>> - normativity
>> - thought, emotion and consciousness
>> - perception and categorization
>> - empathy and intersubjectivity
>> - imitation and mimesis
>> - symbolic activity
>> - discourse genres in language evolution and ontogeny
>> - sign, text and literacy
>>
>> Further information about LCM 2 will be presented at http://
