CONFERENCE ON SLAVIC COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS: CALL FOR PAPERS
FIRST ANNUAL
CONFERENCE ON SLAVIC COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS: CALL FOR PAPERS
Abstracts
are invited for 20-minute presentations addressing issues of significance for
analysis of Slavic languages in the framework of cognitive linguistics. We define
cognitive linguistics as any linguistic endeavor aimed at providing explanations
of linguistic phenomena which are psychologically plausible, i.e. characterizing
"the psychological structures that constitute a speakers 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. Presentations may be in any language; however,
if the presentation is to be made in a language other than English or Russian,
we ask that you provide the abstract in English or Russian.
There
will be two poster sessions, one (I) for presenters who will be at the conference,
and one (II) for presenters who will not be able to come to the conference,
but would like to participate. For poster session II, presenters should send
their posters (2-3 pp.) in large-font format, including their name and email
address, as email attachments, and the organizers will print them out and display
them at the poster session. Discussion of posters in session II will be relayed
to presenters via email.
Deadline for receipt of abstracts: June 1, 2000
Abstracts: Please submit abstracts by email to both Stephen Dickey
(smd6n@virginia.edu) and Laura Janda
(janda@unc.edu). Please note in the text
of your abstract what your preferences are for participation (paper, poster
session I, or poster session II). Depending upon the number of submissions,
the committee may assign some abstracts submitted for papers to be presented
in the poster session.
