Meeting Description:
LANGUAGE CULTURE AND MIND CONFERENCE (LCM 2)
PARIS 17-20 JULY 2006
INTEGRATING PERSPECTIVES AND METHODOLOGIES IN THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE
The second 'Language Culture and Mind' Conference (LCM 2) will be held in Paris
in July 2006, following the successful first LCM conference in Portsmouth in 2004.
The goals of LCM conferences are to contribute to situating the study of
language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue, and to promote a better
integration of cognitive and cultural perspectives in empirical and theoretical
studies of language.
Human natural languages are biologically based, cognitively motivated,
affectively rich, socially shared, grammatically organized symbolic systems.
They provide the principal semiotic means for the complexity and diversity of
human cultural life. As has long been recognized, no single discipline or
methodology is sufficient to capture all the dimensions of this complex and
multifaceted phenomenon, which lies at the heart of what it is to be human.
In the recent past, perception and cognition have been the basis of general
unifying models of language and language activity. However, a genuine
integrative perspective should also involve such essential modalities of human
action as: empathy, mimesis, intersubjectivity, normativity, agentivity and
narrativity. Significant theoretical, methodological and empirical advancements
in the relevant disciplines now provide a realistic basis for such a broadened
perspective.
This conference will articulate and discuss approaches to human natural language
and to diverse genres of language activity which aim to integrate its cultural,
social, cognitive and bodily foundations. We call for contributions from
scholars and scientists in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy,
psychology, semiotics, semantics, discourse analysis, cognitive and
neuroscience, who wish both to impart their insights and findings, and learn
from other disciplines. Preference will be given to submissions which emphasize
interdisciplinarity, the interaction between culture, mind and language, and/or
multi-methodological approaches in language sciences.
Topics include but are not limited to the relation between language and:
- biological and cultural co-evolution
- comparative study of communication systems, whether animal or artificial
- cognitive and cultural schematization
- emergence in ontogeny and phylogeny
- multi-modal communication
- normativity
- thought, emotion and consciousness
- perception and categorization
- empathy and intersubjectivity
- imitation and mimesis
- symbolic activity
- discourse genres in language evolution and ontogeny
- sign, text and literacy
