The conference is aimed primarily at functional cognitive linguists. Its key topic (intended as a point of orientation rather than as a limitation) is the general trend in functionalism to relativize or eliminate strict dichotomies, whether at an abstract theoretical level or in the minute details of grammatical description (cf. fuzzy edges, continua, etc.). To name but the most wide-ranging examples, functional linguists typically deny that a neat and principled distinction can be made between - semantics and pragmatics - grammar and lexicon - linguistic knowledge and language use - synchrony and diachrony - the individual-mental and the social dimensions of language. These issues correspond broadly to research on cognitive grammar, construction grammar, usage-based grammar, grammaticalization, etc., and linguists working in these fields are strongly encouraged to participate. The organizers also have a typological focus on agglutinative languages; however, linguists with a different research interest are also more than welcome. The language of the conference is English. Confirmed keynote speakers: Bernd Heine, University of Cologne Paul Hopper, Carnegie Mellon University Susanne Niemeier, University of Koblenz-Landau Call For Papers The deadline for abstract submission to the conference Beyond Dichotomies has been extended to June 25th. Please submit your abstract by e-mail to the address of the organizing committee: diagrambtk.elte.hu. Send your abstract as attachment to an e-mail message (in both .pdf and .doc formats).
