Meeting Description: 

Over the last decade Spain has witnessed an upsurge of interest in
Cognitive Linguistics among scholars from different disciplines. The
expansion of this research framework has given rise to the creation of
a local branch of the ICLA, AELCO/SCOLA (Spanish Cognitive Linguistics
Association), whose current president is Juana Marin Arrese
(Complutense University of Madrid), Antonio Barcelona (University of
Murcia) having been the first president of the
association. AELCO/SCOLA has generously offered to sponsor our
proposal to hold the 2003 biannual meeting of ICLA at the University
of La Rioja. Support has also been received from Spanish and European
universities actively involved in research in Cognitive Linguistics
(Cordoba, Madrid, Murcia, Zaragoza, Hamburg, Amsterdam, among
others).
