Chair of English Language and Applied Linguistics invites to the 2nd Symposium

Meaning, Context & Cognition
to continue the discussions started at MCC 2011, the first international conference in Poland subsuming cognitive approaches to pragmatics, which gathered over 160 researchers from 5 continents and 51 countries.

 

Abstracts (max. 300 words) are invited for papers on topics relevant to the fields of meaning, context & cognition with the goal of the conference to integrate and promote both theoretical and applied research from the interface of semantics and pragmatics.

The topics on which we would like to focus during the 2012 MCC meeting include the following areas:

  • context – definitions, the semantics-pragmatics interface, the explicit-implicit distinction, context typologies
  • speech acts, speech action, formulaic discourse – speech act theory-oriented research, interactional approaches, politeness, non-sentential speech acts, formulaic language in use, rituals, magic, inter-cultural encounters
  • semoitics of language – e.g. language, music and cognition
  • linguistic interfaces – meeting grounds for linguistics and other disciplines, e.g. sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, political studies, media studies, emancipatory pragmatics and anthropological linguistics, cognitive studies, intersection of philosophy of language and linguistics, interdisciplinarity – merits & conflicts
  • cognitive perspectives on language-oriented phenomena, language and emotion – emotion and linguistic performance, humour, intercultural perspectives, politeness and emotion
  • intercultural perspectives on discourse semantics – contrastive studies, media discourse, global communication, bilingual and multilingual contexts, intercultural clashes and misunderstandings, translation-related issues
  • applications – corpus studies, LSP, experimental studies, comparative & contrastive studies, political linguistics; enhancing development and teachability of linguistic-pragmatic skills in bilingual and multilingual contexts
