International event on linguistics at the University of Osnabrück calls for participants from around the world
The University of Osnabrück is set to host the 10th International Annual Conference of the German Society for Cognitive Linguistics (DGKL) from September 4 to 6. This prestigious event, which could have been held in Göttingen, Berlin, Hamburg, or Leipzig, has chosen Osnabrück as its venue this year.
The conference, themed "Language in the Mind," underscores the significant role that the Osnabrück humanities play on the international stage, according to Prof. Dr. Christian Schneider, Dean of the Faculty of Language and Literature.
Prof. Dr. Alexander Bergs, a linguist at the Institute of English and American Studies at the University of Osnabrück, is the organizer of this event. He explains that the conference is focused on exploring the interconnection between language and cognition, and will delve into topics such as grammatical analyses, metaphor research, language processing, language as a means of political propaganda, and language in artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT.
Cognitive linguistics, a growing branch of linguistics, assumes that language is not an independent system in cognition, but is based on or motivated by general cognitive abilities and perceptual principles, as Prof. Dr. Bergs explains. The conference will provide a platform for discussions on various theoretical frameworks within cognitive linguistics, empirical studies, and applications of cognitive linguistics in other fields, such as education or artificial intelligence.
The conference is still not fully understood how humans cognitively process language in all its facets. However, around 150 international top researchers in cognitive linguistics are expected to attend the conference, according to Prof. Dr. Bergs and his team.
Interested individuals can register for the conference by sending an email to [email protected]. The central question of the conference is "What happens in the mind when we speak to each other?".
