I was excited to read this research on the usage-based approach of the study of semantics and pragmatics explained by Guillaume Desagulier @gdlinguist and Philippe Monneret! If you’re interested in cognitive linguistics, I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading this as much as I did! #cognitivelinguistics #linguistics @academicchatter @linguistics

I want to credit @mrcompletely for introducing me to two useful phrases:

Registration for the 16th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference #ICLC16 at @HHU closes soon - last chance to join us for four and a half days of #CognitiveLinguistics https://iclc16.com
The journal "Language & Cognition" is looking for a new editor-in-chief #CognitiveLinguistics https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/language-and-cognition/call-for-papers/call-for-applications-editor-in-chief-of-language-and-cognition
Earlybird registration for the 16th International #CognitiveLinguistics Conference @HHU is still open until June 5 - and we'll probably extend the deadline until June 20. Embarrassingly, our website is currently down, but we've improvised a replacement https://iclc16.com @linguistics
Just in time for #ICCG12 next week, we're happy to announce the first paper in our special issue on "35 Years of #Constructions", in which Tobias Ungerer proposes "A gradient notion of constructionhood" #ConstructionGrammar #CognitiveLinguistics https://constructions.journals.hhu.de/article/view/543
A quick #introduction here:
I’m still trying to figure things out, but I’m glad I made the change to this platform. I’m a part-time lecturer and a linguist. Currently studying for my second MA in Forensic Linguistics. I’m interested in doing an online Ph.D in Linguistics so any recommendations will be highly appreciated!

So far I haven't really talked about my #research here, but I've seen other #academics announcing their books, so I think I'll at least try this out and see how it goes?
I'm one of the three editors of the new volume #Multimodal #Communication in #Intercultural #Interaction, and if you're interested in purchasing a copy for yourself (or more likely getting someone at your #university to do so), there's a hefty discount code in this flyer!
One week left to submit abstracts to the International #CognitiveLinguistics Conference in Düsseldorf @HHU https://iclc16.phil.hhu.de/call/ \cc @linguistics
A reminder that English "is just one of the roughly 7000 languages spoken or signed in the world" and that studies in #CognitiveLinguistics have been biased because of this.
Grateful to a cognitive linguistics colleague for sharing this as these kinds of issues generally tend to be raised by socio-linguists & applied-linguists.
