  Language, Cognition and Creativity

  8th International Biennial Conference of the French Association for Cognitive Linguistics (AFLiCo)

  We welcome 20 minute presentations (with 8 minutes for follow-up questions) from researchers interested in linguistic creativity. Interdisciplinary papers are welcome which address verbal creativity in conversations, humor, written communication, the verbal arts, multimodal forms, gestures, etc. Because creativity is of interest to many different researchers (see scientific statement below), we also welcome papers from those working on creativity in fields such as psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, pragmatics, and psychology. The organizers especially encourage young researchers to submit an abstract. Presentations may be made in French or English.

  Interdisciplinary strategies and collaborations

  This seminar is the first of a series of three talks which will take place in each of the cities explored. It offers a space for collaboration, reflection and exchanges where explorers, partners, associate members and other leading figures are invited to lend an outside perspective. It is an invitation both to reflect on the project itself and to promote a public discussion of its critical perspectives. For instance, what is “knowledge” for an artist, a researcher or an educator, and how is it constructed ? For what discourse and representations are artists, researchers in the humanities and educators responsible ? What research stance should be adopted to meet the challenges of interdisciplinarity and social space ? How do our disciplines of research, creation and social intervention revisit the historical motive for exploration and what relationship do they have with it ?

  From Observation to Text, from Text to Culture

  Two Paths of Semiotics?

  Dans ce colloque, nous entendons nous concentrer sur les outils d’analyse de la sémiotique et des disciplines sociales suivant deux directions complémentaires : (I) de l’observation au texte et (II) du texte à la culture. Dans le volet (I), nous entendons nous concentrer sur ce qui se passe durant la captation et l’inscription du sens en fonction de l’observation et l’interaction vécue, mais aussi à travers les notations, transcriptions et pré-analyses produites au cours de cette observation. Il s’agira de nous demander en quoi l’observation et la participation du chercheur peuvent contribuer à façonner les objets culturels. Dans le volet (II), la question que nous voudrions poser concerne le parcours qui conduit du texte à la culture. Ici, il ne s’agira pas forcément d’enregistrer sa propre expérience in vivo et de l’analyser en cours de construction du texte, mais de s’arrêter sur les moyens possédés par le chercheur pour prendre pour objet d’analyse un élément aussi large que la culture.
