    Linguistic Sub-field: Cognitive Science Call Deadline: 31-Jan-2004

    Meeting Description:

    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.

    The goal of this conference is to contribute to situating the study of language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue. Many of the relevant disciplines have made highly significant theoretical, methodological and empirical advances during the last decade.

    We call for contributions from scholars and scientists in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, semiotics, cognitive and neurosciences, 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.
