CALL FOR PAPERS
Abstracts are invited for presentations addressing issues of
significance for cognitive linguistics. We define cognitive
linguistics as
any linguistic endeavour aimed at providing explanations of
linguistic phenomena which are psychologically plausible, i.e.
characterizing "the
psychological structures that constitute a speaker's linguistic
ability" (Langacker). As long as there is a cognitive orientation,
papers may be in any of the traditional areas of synchronic or
diachronic phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
discourse analysis or sociolinguistics.
MAIN SESSIONS (Saturday and Sunday)
Each presentation for the main sessions will be given 20 minutes and
will be followed by a 10-minute discussion period.
POSTER SESSIONS (Saturday and Sunday)
We also welcome submissions for parallel poster sessions. Posters may
consist of traditional posters, handouts, or multimedia
presentations. Participants should plan for 15 minute presentations
that will be repeated 3 times during a 60 minute session.
Presentations may be in the native language of the presenter;
however, if the presentation is not to be made in English we ask that
you provide the abstract in English in addition to an abstract in any
other language.
Abstracts may be submitted anytime before July 15, 2007 to Steven
Clancy <sclancy at uchicago.edu>. Please indicate if you would like
your submission to be considered for a 20-minute presentation or the
poster session. Abstracts should be 500-750 words, but strict word
limits are not required. Notification of acceptance will be provided
by August 20, 2007.
