| ICLC 11, Xi'an: Language, Cognition, Context |
|
|
Like all previous ICLCs, ICLC 11, held in Xi'an, China, from July 11 to July 17, 2011, was
a gathering of cognitive linguists who presented their most recent research in the study of
language. All presentations share the assumption that language is part of human cognition,
not an autonomous and separate system. Language is seen as influenced and, to a large
extent, even determined by forces not only within it but also outside it—factors of general
human cognitive capacities as well as factors that result from the diversity of societies,
cultural groups, discourse types, and communicative modes.
ICLC 11 featured 8 keynote speeches and 5 theme sessions. Three hundred eighty-five scholars
presented their work in concurrent sessions and 60 of them displayed their research in the
Poster Session. Besides, they toured the famed Terra-Cotta Museum of Worriers and enjoyed a
theatrical performance of Tang Dynasty dance and music. Many participants have informed us
that ICLC 11 was an enriching and memorable experience for them.
The Organizing Committee of ICLC 11 is in the process of gathering documents (PPT and/or
Word files) from presenters to be posted at www.iclc11.org, which will be maintained for at
least 5 years. If you presented at the conference and are interested in sharing your work
with others who visit this website, please send your presentation files to
iclc11.xian@gmail.com before September 30, 2011.
The received documents will be available for
sharing at www.iclc11.org in October, 2011.
