ICPEAL 17 — CLDC 9
The joint conference ICPEAL 17 – CLDC 9 (the 17th Conference on the Processing of East Asian Languages and the 9th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition) will be held from 19 to 21 October 2018 at National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan. This joint conference will be hosted by the Graduate Institute of Linguistics, the Department of Psychology, Neurobiology and Cognitive Science Center at NTU, and the Linguistic Society of Taiwan (LST).
The ICPEAL, which was held first in Taiwan at NTU 40 years ago in 1978, provides opportunities for researchers to disseminate new research findings, to exchange new ideas, to develop new paradigms, and, consequently to advance the cognitive study of not only East Asian languages, but also languages around the world.
The CLDC similarly aims to provide a forum for researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition to discuss new research findings, exchange innovative ideas and share the approaches in these fields. Topics relevant to language, discourse, and cognition as well as interdisciplinary studies stimulated over the last few years have given rise to a growing body of critical findings, making CLDC an important event in the field of cognitive linguistics in East Asia.
Consequently, studies presented at the joint conference ICPEAL–CLDC focus on the study of languages in East Asia from many perspectives, in order to enrich the dialogue between different fields of cognitive science. As such, the main theme of this joint conference is: BETWEEN CULTURE AND COGNITION, referring to the place language often finds itself in.
