CFP: Integrating Semiotic Resources in Communication and Creativity

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. (http://www.salc-sssk.org/lcm/)
