The Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association

Affiliation approved by the ICLA Assembly at ICLC 7, Santa Barbara, July 2001.

History and Aims

Laura Janda and Stephen Dickey founded the Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association (SCLA) in Spring 2000 and the inaugural conference for the group was held at UNC-Chapel Hill in Autumn 2000. The organization has continued annual meetings in most years since then. (See Conferences link below.)

The Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association pursues a threefold mission:

To promote Cognitive Linguistics, and particularly to encourage graduate students and junior faculty to pursue research on the Slavic languages in the framework of Cognitive Linguistics
To encourage the practical application of Cognitive Linguistics, particularly in the development of pedagogical materials for the teaching of Slavic languages
To encourage interdisciplinary applications of Cognitive Linguistics, particularly in the area of literary analysis.
