The Organizing Committee of the 11th International Conference of the Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (AELCO/SCOLA) is pleased to announce that this 11th edition will take place at the University of Córdoba (Spain) on the 17th, 18th and 19th of October 2018 under the theme "Cognitive linguistic research in metonymy, metaphor, constructions and frames: Scope, models and methods".
Thanks to its rich cultural and monumental legacy, Córdoba was designated World Heritage City by the UNESCO in 1984. A crossroads of diverse cultures throughout its history, it possesses a large number of impressive monuments like the Mosque-Cathedral, the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos (Fortress of the Catholic Monarchs), the palatial city Medina Azahara, or the medieval Fernandina churches. The Judería (Jewish Quarter) stands out for its narrow, winding streets.
The following plenary speakers have confirmed their participation:
- Mario Brdar, Professor, University of Osijek (Croatia).
- Günter Radden, Emeritus Professor, University of Hamburg (Germany).
- Francisco J. Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Professor, University of La Rioja (Spain).
- Leonard Talmy, Emeritus Professor, University of Buffalo, New York (U.S.A.).
Contributions are encouraged on topics included in, or related to, the theme proposed for this edition, such as:
- Theoretical models for research metaphor, metonymy, constructions and frames.
- Scientific research methods in the study of metaphor, metonymy, constructions and frames.
- The interaction of metaphor, metonymy, constructions and frames.
- The development of detailed repositories and databases for metaphor, metonymy, constructions and frames.
- Cross-linguistic studies on these areas.
- Multimodal research on these areas.
AELCO/SCOLA's conferences always aim to serve as a forum for discussion of any topic within the field of cognitive linguistics. Therefore, we invite a broad range of papers on other traditional topics in cognitive linguistics such as:
- The structural characteristics of natural language categorization, including (apart from metaphor, metonymy and frames) prototypicality, image schemas, mental imagery and cognitive models).
- The explicit characterization of linguistic meaning in terms appropriate to its nature (figure/ground, profiling, grounding, scope of predication, etc.).
- The functional principles of linguistic organization (such as iconicity and naturalness).
- The relationship between language and thought.
- The conceptual interface between syntax and semantics.
- The experiential and pragmatic basis of language.
- The conceptual basis and structural organization of signed languages.
- The nature of language in its evolutionary and historical perspectives.
- The acquisition of language via cognitive, communicative and general social experience.
- The relationship between language and non-linguistic aspects of communication such as gesture.
Submission formats
The languages of the conference are Spanish and English. Oral session slots will be allocated 30 minutes, which includes 20 minutes for each presentation, followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussion, and 5 minutes to change rooms.
