Dear All,

We would like to remind you that abstract submissions for the XII. Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science (DUCOG) will be accepted until March 31, 2021.

 

Conference theme: Linguistic and cognitive foundations of meaning

Dates: May 19-21, 2021 (from 4pm to 9pm CET)

Venue: online in both synchronous and asynchronous formats

 

Language and cognition are intimately linked, but debates about the exact nature of their relationship still occupy a central focus in cognitive science. Meaning provides an important window onto the interface between language and broader cognition: on one hand, language can be viewed as mapping onto pre-existing concepts, on the other hand, language can be thought of as a set of cues to meaning. Our invited program brings together an interdisciplinary set of speakers with diverse theoretical perspectives and empirical approaches to discuss issues at the interface of language and cognition within the domain of meaning.

 

The live program will consist of talks by the invited speakers and contributed presentations, as well as discussion sessions. We solicit abstract submissions for two streams of contributed presentations:

 (i)  talks presented live on topics closely related to the conference theme, and

 (ii) asynchronous presentations in free formats on any topics in cognitive science.

 

Please indicate your preference for live vs. asynchronous presentation during submission.
