Chinese Cognitive Linguistics Association (CCLA)

Founded 2003. Affiliation approved by the ICLA Governing Board at ICLC 10 in Krakow in July, 2007.

Aims

China Cognitive Linguistics Association (CCLA)was officially founded on May 13 th, 2006, on the occasion of the 4th China National Conference in Cognitive Linguistics, held at Nanjing Normal University. Its constitution was ratified on that date, as was its governing board consisting of 25 members. Currently, the Association has 300 members.

The central objectives of CCLA are to promote the development of Cognitive Linguistics in China by pursuing theoretical and interdisciplinary studies as well as applying and popularizing the central findings in Cognitive Linguistics, to give impetus to the growth of scholars in this field, and to foster exchanges with other Cognitive Linguistics Associations in the world, under the auspices of the ICLA.

To this end, the Association will keep the practice of biennial China-based conferences in Cognitive Linguistics, but will invite more foreign participants to enhance the diversity in views and perspectives.The Association will publicize the publication of new treatises, dissertations, research papers, corpus resources in cognitive linguistics, and foster contact and cooperation between its members for the organization of forums, summer schools, and other relevant events.An electronic newsletter is circulated among its members twice per year.

CCLA fully embraces the epistemological stance and multidisciplinary concerns outlined on the ICLA web. It gathers representatives differing in their areas of expertise, ranging across metaphor theory, blending theory, cognitive semantics/pragmatics, construction grammar, categorization, neuro-cognitive linguistics, neuro-cognitive study of idioms, anaphora, Chinese cognitive grammar, grammaticalization in Chinese, animacy, critical discourse analysis, metonymy, spatial and temporal cognition, syntax-semantics interface, language acquisition (including second language acquistion), literary stylistics, and translation studies.
