[koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] ANNOUNCEMENT: Thomas Bugnyar (University of Vienna), Wednesday, November 20, 5PM, Cognitive Development Center

by olivier mascaro

Dear all, The next talk in the CEU Cognitive Science seminar series will by given by: *Thomas Bugnyar* *(**Department of Cognitive Biology, **University of Vienna)* Date: Wednesday, November 20, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor *Title:* *‘Raven Politics’ – Understanding and use of social relations* Complex social life has been proposed as one of the driving forces for the evolution of cognition. Aside a large group size and a high degree of fission-fusion dynamics, the formation and use of valuable relationships (social bonds) have been discussed as the main factors constituting social complexity in mammals. Yet it is debated, if this is also true for birds. Reporting on recent data from captive and wild ravens Corvus corax, I argue that i) the quality of social relationships of these birds is comparable to that of primates and ii) that the relationship quality between individuals explains various patterns of their advanced conflict management (coalition formation, intervention in fights, post-conflict reconciliation and bystander-affiliation). In addition, I argue that iii) social bonds may be advantageous during foraging but iv) that they may come with the costs of increased aggression by third parties. These findings support the idea that the need for, and use of, bonding partners outside reproduction may be one of the factors driving the cognitive evolution in these large-brained birds. PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.

[koglist] invitation to a talk on `Leibniz on substance in the Discourse on Metaphysics`by Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra - 19 November, 5.30 PM

by Krisztina Biber

The CEU Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra (University of Oxford) on `Leibniz on substance in the Discourse on Metaphysics` Tuesday, 19 November, 2013, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412 ABSTRACT In the Discourse on Metaphysics Leibniz put forward his famous complete-concept definition of substance. Sometimes this definition is glossed as stating that a substance is an entity with a concept so complete that it contains all its predicates, and it is thought that it follows directly from Leibniz’s theory of truth. Now, an adequate definition of substance should not apply to accidents. But, as I shall point out, if Leibniz’s theory of truth is correct then an accident is an entity with a concept so complete that it contains all its predicates. The aim of this paper is to clarify Leibniz’s notion of substance in the Discourse with a view to explaining how that definition successfully distinguishes between substances and accidents. I shall argue that there is a sense in which accidents have complete concepts and a sense in which they don’t, while there is no sense in which substances do not have complete concepts. Key to my argument is the idea that according to Leibniz a substance is its own subject. Although that idea might seem odd, I present evidence that Leibniz accepted it. Although the paper concentrates on the Discourse, discussion of a note on one of Leibniz’s letters to Arnauld will be important.

[koglist] Call for papers: Socio-cultural factors in style

by "Ladányi Mária (ella)"

*Call for papers* *Socio-cultural factors in style * The Research Group in Stylistics at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest (__stylistics.elte.hu_ <http://www.stylistics.elte.hu/>_) is inviting linguists to the international conference 'Socio-cultural factors in style', due to take place in Budapest, 5-6.02. 2014. The conference is aimed primarily at functional cognitive linguists with an interest in stylistics. Its central topic is the functions of socio-cultural factors in style. Functional cognitive linguistics produces complex usage-based descriptions, foregrounding the motivations behind specific construals of meaning in intersubjective usage events. Fundamental factors of a functionally oriented description of dynamic semantics and grammar include discourse, speech situation, conceptualizer perspective and the dynamic relation between schema and instantiation. The present conference focuses on the stylistic components of linguistic variability. From a functional cognitive perspective, style is an aspect of discursive meaning derived from particular modes of construal and symbolization. Style can be studied from multiple vantage points and at varying levels of abstraction. Besides the stylistic potential of language and the stylistic structure of particular discourses or discourse types, socio-cultural factors can be explored with a view to the more or less conventionalized social functions of linguistic expressions in a speech community. Looked at in this way, style is a function of the norms of socially based interpersonal relations, and it is attributed to linguistic expressions in specific usage events. Socio-cultural factors of style include the domains of attitude, situation, value (value saturation vs. deprivation), time (archaism vs. neologism), and language varieties. The conference focuses on three large, closely related issues: 1) the functional cognitive theory and methodology of the study of style, 2) the general features of socio-cultural factors in the functional system of style; linguistic variability and stylistic variables based on socio-cultural factors, 3) socio-cultural variables of style as instantiated in particular discourses. The conference aims to reinterpret basic issues and raise new questions in stylistic research, with special regard to the following: 1) developing an integrated theory and methodology for studying the cognitive and socio-cultural underpinnings of language, to be applied to stylistic research, 2) exploring the implications of cognitive semantics and pragmatics for the study of style, 3) harmonizing the style-related concepts and results of sociolinguistics and cognitive linguistics, 4) investigating the language- and culture-specific features of style in the theoretical and methodological framework of cognitive linguistics. The language of the conference is English. Confirmed keynote speakers: Willie van Peer Gábor Tolcsvai Nagy The deadline for submission of abstracts (in English; max one page including data and references) is December 12, 2013. Please submit your abstract as attached message (in both .pdf and .doc formats) by e-mail to the address of the organizing committee: __stylistics(a)btk.elte.hu_ <mailto:stylistics@btk.elte.hu>_. The abstracts will be evaluated by the organizing committee. Participants will be notified about acceptance by December 28, 2013. The registration fee is EUR 80,00 payable by bank transfer. Abstract submission The body of the e-mail should include the following information (preferably in this order): 1) Name of the participant 2) Title of presentation 3) Affiliation 4) E-mail address The book of abstracts will be published on the conference website, at __stylistics.elte.hu_ <http://www.stylistics.elte.hu/>_.
