CALL FOR PAPERS

SCSP (Society for Cognitive Science and Philosophy) and BRAK (Brno Analytic Circle), in cooperation with Department of Philosophy and Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University, are inviting you to conference on cognition and language CaL2017.

Language is a research topic shared by many fields of study such as linguistics, logic, philosophy, psychology, etc. We believe that cognitive science represents the next possible direction, which can lead to new understanding of the phenomena. The main aim of CaL2017 is to show how cognitive science can enhance the more traditional approaches to natural and/or artificial languages and bring new insights.

Topics

Possible topics could include, but are not limited to:

• cognitive science and argumentation
• language analysis in cognitive science
• language and cognition, mapping of meaning, representation in language
• logic and cognitive science
• natural language in cognitive science
• vagueness, ambiguity and other problems in language

Submission

Submission of proposals for contributed talks (30 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion) on topics of language and cognitive science are welcomed. The proposal should contain abstract (300–600 words) with author(s) name(s), affiliation(s) and e-mail address and should be in two formats, docx and pdf.
