Fifth International Conference on Language, Culture and Mind
https://sites.google.com/site/languagecultureandmindv/home
The Fifth International Conference on Language, Culture and Mind (LCM V)
will be held on 27-29 June 2012 at the Catholic University of Portugal in
Lisbon. It will be preceded by a Young Researchers Workshop on 26 June
2012 (same venue), in which young researchers will present their ongoing
dissertation projects and current work.
The goals of LCM conferences are to contribute to situating the study of
language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue (involving
philosophy, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, semiotics and other
related fields), and to promote a better integration of cognitive and
cultural perspectives in empirical and theoretical studies of language.

Young Researchers Workshop
The LCM V Young Researchers Workshop is a satellite event of the LCM V
conference, aimed at graduate students and junior scholars conducting
theoretical or empirical research in language and communication including,
but not limited to cognitive, social, affective, embodied and/or cultural
perspectives. The workshop aims at providing a forum for presenting
results and foster interaction and debate in the context of
interdisciplinary collaboration.
Young researchers in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy,
psychology, semiotics, ognitive and neuroscience are invited to share,
and thereby enrich, their study of human natural language and
communication. A specialist’s comment on each accepted contribution makes
the workshop a unique opportunity to receive expert feedback.
