11th International Conference of the Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association (AELCO)

October 17-19, 2018

University of Córdoba, Córdoba, Spain

 

The purpose of this conference is to create a forum for discussions on changes in the perception of cultural and linguistic identities in an academic environment. It aims to explore the evolution of communication styles taking place in today’s globalized and multicultural societies.

We invite representatives from the departments of humanities and social sciences who are interested in exchanging theoretical and practical approaches to these phenomena and processes: on a global, national or regional level; from disciplinary, intercultural, cognitive and educational perspectives.

Therefore, the conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners from the fields of anthropocentric linguistics; anthropological linguistics; linguistic anthropology; identity and cultural studies; SLA, ESP and English as a lingua franca.

Our plenary speakers are:
  •   Mario Brdar, Professor, University of Osijek (Croatia)
  •   Günter Radden, Emeritus Professor, University of Hamburg (Germany)
  •   Francisco J. Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Professor, University of La Rioja (Spain)
