FYI Body:	Call for Workshop Proposals Geneva has been selected by the Comité International Permanent des Linguistes as the venue for the next International Congress of Linguists 22-27 July 2013). The general focus of the 19th ICL is the Language-Cognition Interface. Our proposal for the Congress concentrates on the cognition- language relationship. The provisional choice of ten parallel sessions will provide ample opportunity to explore this topic, in sessions such as Saussure’s legacy, Origins of Language and Human Cognition, The life, growth and death of languages, Phonology and morphology, Theoretical and comparative syntax, Semantics-pragmatics interface, Psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics and multilingualism, Experimental and computational approaches to languages and linguistics, but the general orientation will be the relation between language and cognition. Additional workshops will be organized, under the responsibility of workshop promoters. This call mainly concerns workshops, which can be focused on any type of issue connected to the main topic of the Congress. Deadline for workshop submissions: November 30 2011 Webpage for submission: http://www.cil19.org/en/workshops/ Workshop proposals can be open or closed. In any case, the workshop promoters will be fully responsible for the selection of the panel. The length of the workshop will depend on the number of communications. We suggest that the promoters plan for up to 3 slots on the congress schedule (between 3 and 7 communications each). Decisions on proposals for workshops submitted by this date will be conveyed to organizers by the end of December 2011.
