I CIRCULAR INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE SEMANTICS WITHOUT BORDERSBIELSKO-
BIA, POLANDSEPTEMBER 11-13, 2008
The University of Bielsko-BialaInstitute of English in cooperation
with Institute of Slavic Languages is pleased to announce the
organization of an international conference Semantics without borders:
morphemes, words, constructions, texts.
The conference will take place in Bielsko-Biala, Sept. 11-13, 2008.
The venue will be the University of Bielsko-Biala, ul. Willowa 2. Dear
friends and colleagues, There is considerable agreement among modern
linguists that, except for (perhaps!) phonology, meaning is central to
all units and levels of language analysis.
Over the last three decades we have seen unprecedented growth in the
awareness of the crucial importance of meaning in both morphology, and
syntax and discourse, which has been accompanied by a comparable
growth in the number of theoretical attempts at explaining the
semantic aspects of various phenomena characteristic of those fields
of linguistic research.
Of particular interest seem to be those proposals which seek to
account for the emergence of meaning in terms of general cognitive and/
or conceptual operations, such as schematization, metaphor, metonymy
and conceptual blending. In addition, the recent advances in
neuroscience have made it possible to empirically test the increasing
number of explanatory hypotheses by looking at our cognitive and
linguistic brain. Computer simulations have also become more and more
sophisticated. Although much progress has already been made, most of
us know that the real quest for answers has only just begun. The new
findings and theories appear almost on a daily basis; therefore, it is
extremely important that we meet and share the current results of our
research as often as possible - in order to be better informed,
sometimes criticized and challenged, but above all to find new
stimulation and inspiration.
