Abstract reviewing

Our first round of abstract reviewing for DGKL-9 (Spring 2020) was interrupted due to the uncertainties created by the corona crisis. However, we are happy to announce that this round of reviewing will now be completed so that all participants can be informed about the results in October 2020.

All positively reviewed abstracts are accepted for DGKL-9 (2021), though updates or the submission of new abstracts will also be possible.

The link to our conference management system for both submitters and reviewers can be found HERE.

Submission of new abstracts

A new call for papers for DGKL-9 (2021) will go round in November 2020, both via the linguist list and via the mailing list of the DGKL/GCLA. It will also be published here, on the conference homepage.

Please, do not hesitate to use our conference mailif you have any queries concerning your conference contribution.

DGKL-9
Wednesday, September 23 – Saturday, September 26, 2020
Erfurt University, Germany

The German Cognitive Linguistics Association (DGKL/GCLA) is pleased to announce its 9th international conference, DGKL/GCLA-9, to be held at the University of Erfurt, from 23^rd to 26t^h Sept. 2020. We are now inviting proposals for contributions.

In line with the framing theme of the DGKL-9 “Cognitive Linguistics as an Interdisciplinary Endeavour: Theoretical and Methodological Challenges”, our plenary and keynote speakers will bring in a wide variety of cognitive and usage-based perspectives on language, illustrating the impressive methodological repertoire that the proponents of the cognitive-functional paradigm in linguistic research have accumulated over the past decades:

• Ewa Dabrowska (FAU Erlangen): The effects of literacy on grammar
• Dirk Geeraerts (KU Leuven): Boons and Bournes of Cloud Chasing. Recent developments in distributional corpus semantics
• Natalia Levshina (MPI Nijmegen): Communicative efficiency: typological, corpus-based and experimental evidence
• Irene Mittelberg (RWTH Aachen): Cognitive semiotic theory as common denominator for interdisciplinary, empirical gesture research
• Friedemann Pulvermüller (FU Berlin): Neural assemblage and decomposition in construction learning
• Sabine Stoll (University of Zurich): Title to be announced
• Kristian Tylén (Aaarhus University): Language as shaped by the environment
• Stefanie Wulff (University of Florida & UiT The Arctic University of Norway): Enjoying methods responsibly: in favor of theory-driven methods selection

Papers from all subfields of Cognitive-Functional Linguistics are kindly invited, including those wishing to discuss points of a theoretical nature or those pursuing applied perspectives. Papers supporting the conference theme, i.e. exhibiting a strong empirical basis and/or clear interdisciplinary approach, are especially welcome. The working languages of the conferences are English and German, proposals in both languages are welcome.

Abstracts for posters and presentations can be submitted via this conference website from 15^th Dec 2019 to 15^th Feb 2020. Colleagues wishing to organize a theme session in line with the conference theme are kindly asked to contact us before 15th Jan 2020 via our conference mail DGKL2020@uni-erfurt.de.
