A two-day post- conference workshop on Chinese lexical semantics will be held following CLDC 2011 on May 3rd and 4th. The CLDC is an annual international conference with the aim of bringing together researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition to report new research findings, exchange innovative ideas and share frameworks in these areas. Although CLDC was launched only four years ago, the topics relevant to language, discourse and cognition themes as well as the interdisciplinary exchange stimulated during the last few years have given rise to a growing body of critical findings, making CLDC an important meeting in the fields of cognitive linguistics/functional linguistics in East Asia. We hope that the CLDC 2011 meeting will continue to attract a greater number of international researchers to participate in the dialog. In addition to inviting highly accomplished keynote speakers, as has been done in conferences past, we are also inviting for the first time established scholars as invited speakers to showcase research findings in their areas of expertise. These arrangements will hopefully facilitate even greater exchange and interaction between participants and stimulate new ideas and research directions in our respective fields of study. The CLDC 2011 will focus on research associated with cognitive linguistics/functional linguistics, and will be divided into a general session with the theme of 'Discourse and Cognitive Linguistics' and a special session with the theme of 'Metaphor and Cognition'. Furthermore, the 12th Chinese Lexical Semantics Workshop (CLSW12), the theme of which is 'Cognitive Aspects of Lexical Semantics', will be held as a post- conference workshop.
