Meaning in language, music and visual cognition

We are pleased to announce our conference on the schematic basis of meaning in language, music, and visual cognition. The event aims to gather linguists, psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists, music, visual cognition, and multimodality researchers interested in schematic structures underlying (conceptual) meaning construction from any theoretical perspective (formal, functional, or eclectic). The phenomena of interest include, but are not limited to, image schemas, conceptual primitives, scripts, cross-modal correspondences, conceptual metaphors, metonymies and blends, semantic frames, mental and simulation models, and multimodal aspects of schematic meaning generation. Confirmed keynotes: Ray Jackendoff (Tufts / MIT), Todd Oakley (CWRU), Beate Hampe (Erfurt).

Abstract submission to https://forms.gle/bFLkpxz6FEg14uno7, by 1 Aug 2024. We welcome proposals for talks of up to 20 minutes. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words. Information on abstract acceptance by 1 Sep 2024.

The conference is kindly supported by the Serbian Science Fund (SCHEMAS project , Grant No. 7715934).

New Journal

Our Serbian sister organisation are publishing a journal, as per their email:

“…

On behalf of the Serbian Association for the Study of English, I am proud and pleased to announce the launching of our new journal, named simply The SASE Journal. I believe that this is good news not only for the Serbian community of English language and literature professionals but also that it may be of interest for our European network. Therefore, I have received a polite request by the editor-in-chief of the journal, professor Jelena Danilović Jeremić (University of Kragujevac) and associate editor Marta Veličković (University of Niš) to kindly ask you to pass on the information and the call for papers through the network of your national associations. I sincerely hope that this is not too much to ask as it may benefit both the future contributors and the readership of the journal.

The basic information about the aims and scope of the journal, as well as the first call for papers can be reached via the link https://sase.org.rs/the-sase-journal/. Additionally, I am attaching the CfP to this email for greater convenience.

On behalf of the SASE members, the editors of The SASE Journal and myself

Best regards,

Vladimir
