This biennial conference, which has constantly been gaining in importance since its first occurrence, is open to all scholars working in the vast field of textual data analysis; ranging from lexicography to the analysis of political discourse, from documentary research to marketing research, from computational linguistics to sociolinguistics, from the processing of data to content analysis. After the success of the previous meetings, the three-day conference in Switzerland will continue to provide a workshop-style forum through technical paper sessions, invited talks, and panel discussions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: September 10th, 1999 Notification: October 15th, 1999 Camera ready papers: December 10th, 1999 Conference: March 9-11, 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------- THEMES OF INTEREST The themes of interest of the conference concern the application of statistical models and tools in the following domains: * Exploratory Textual Data Analysis * Discourse Analysis * Computational Linguistics * Statistical Analysis of Responses to Open Questions * Documentary and Bibliometric Statistical Analysis * Stylometry * Frequency Dictionaries * Lemmatization * Text Corpora and Text Encoding * Textual Classification * Information Retrieval * Hypertext * Software for Lexical and Textual Analysis --------------------------------------------------------------------- LANGUAGES FOR THE PRESENTATIONS Submissions, communications and presentations can be made in any one of these languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish All communications and presentations must contain an English abstract.

uni-bremen.de>CALL FOR PAPERS Circular No 1 28th LAUD SYMPOSIUM University of Koblenz-Landau in Landau (Germany) 27-30 March 2000 'Ten Years After' Cognitive Linguistics: Second Language Acquisition, Language Pedagogy, and Linguistic Theory The LAUD symposium held in Duisburg in 1990 marked "the birth of cognitive linguistics as a broadly grounded, self-conscious intellectual movement" (Langacker). Ten years after this First International Cognitive Linguistics Conference, LAUD once again invites papers related to issues in cognitive linguistics, but this time with special reference to language acquisition research and language pedagogy. Although cognitive linguistics can certainly be characterized as the most rapidly expanding linguistic paradigm of the last decade, the impact of this linguistic theory on research in language acquisition and foreign language teaching has no more than appeared at the periphery of CL and its pedagogical implications have been left largely unexplored. Consequently, LAUD 2000 intends to stimulate the contributions that CL can make to the areas of language acquisition and language pedagogy. At the same time, it wants to discuss new positions and developments in more general fields of cognitive linguistics research that may be relevant for Cognitive Applied Linguistics (CAL). The conference is therefore aimed at three interrelated areas within cognitive linguistics. We invite papers which consider (1) the interaction between language, cognition and acquisition, (2) the pedagogical implications that cognitive linguistics may favour, and (3) cognitive principles of linguistic, i.e. conceptual organization while acquiring and learning second or foreign languages. (1) Language, cognition, and language acquisition Specific areas of inquiry at the symposium will include, but will not be limited to: - models of second language acquisition in natural settings - cognitive approaches to language learning research - psycholinguistic experiments in language learning - comprehension and production strategies in language learning - languages in contrast: L1 and L2 conceptualizations - corpus requirements in language learning - the role of the first language - the role of memory and lexical learning (2) Pedagogical implications favoured by cognitive linguistics Specific areas of inquiry at the symposium will include, but will not be limited to: - general: insights prevailing in CL and their possible relevance for the teaching of grammar/vocabulary in foreign language pedagogy - basic level items and prototype categories in the acquisition of vocabulary - CL and pedagogical grammars - the function of a cognitive grammar of English - from meaning-focused to form-focused instruction - the role of grammatical rules as applications of cognitive principles - CL and the 'consciousness raising' movement - the teaching of language-specific conceptualizations (3) Cognitive principles of linguistic, i.e. conceptual organization in language acquisition/learning Specific areas of inquiry at the symposium will include, but will not be limited to: - linguistic categories and cognitive models - conceptual metaphors and metonymies, e.g. emotion concepts - schemas and prototypes exploited and built up in and across language(s) - construals within languages and across languages - iconicity in language and thought - language and space as the basis of concrete and abstract conceptualization - language, culture and thought, i.e. language as a culture's symbolization The final date for submitting one-page abstracts will be July 1, 1999. Please let us know whether your paper fits section 1, 2 or 3. Abstracts should be sent by email to each of the following, from whom further information can also be obtained: Martin P\252tz email: <puetzMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
