Cognitive Linguistics in the Year 2024 Katowice, 18-20 September 2024
Organizers:
Institute of Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities,
University of Silesia in Katowice
and
the Polish Cognitive Linguistics Association
The main theme:
Motivation in language
Motivation in language, seen as the influence of a whole range of factors on any dimension of the linguistic unit, is one of the important research areas explored within the cognitivelinguistics enterprise. It can be traced at all levels of linguistic organisation, and characterised
from all kinds of cognitive perspectives: socio-cultural, embodied, communicative, historical, experiential, psychological, or any other. Hence we encourage submissions from scholars whoexamine any facet of this issue.
Besides motivation in language, we also invite scholars who explore any other topic in the area of cognitive linguistics and want to share the results of their recent studies.
