DGKL/GCLA-9 (2021) is framed by a range of plenaries and conference workshops fleshing out the conference topic. As soon as we know more, further details about the programme will be published here.
Bringing in a broad repertoire of methods from corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycho-/ neurolinguistics, typological linguistics and language-acquisition research, the plenary lectures highlight important dimensions of the interdisciplinary approaches that characterise much empirical work in contemporary Cognitive Linguistics.
