Announcing 9th Conference on Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language (CSDL9) Online Proceedings
The Cognitive Science Network (CSN) is pleased to announce the 9th Conference on Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language (CSDL9) Online Proceedings. These proceedings are available to all users at no charge and contain abstracts of the meeting's papers with links to any full papers posted by authors to the SSRN eLibrary.
CSDL features presentations in the fields of cognitive linguistics, functional linguistics, discourse, corpus linguistics, and speech & language processing by scholars exploring the interface between language and cognition.
The theme of CSDL 9 is "Meaning, Form, and Body." The focus is on two central, related research areas in the study of language:
- The integration of form and meaning, and
- Language and the human body.
These topics intersect naturally, as in the study of grammatical constructions, of conceptual integration, and of gesture.
