The major goal of The Scandinavian Association for Language and Cognition (SALC) is to promote the study of the relationship between language and cognition. This involves any type of research in which language is not treated in isolation (e.g. as a "module"), but both as based on structures and processes of general cognition and social cognition, and as affecting such structures and processes. The association is intended to be a forum for cooperation and exchange of ideas between disciplines, fields of study and theoretical frameworks. The aim of the SALC Conference is to promote the cross-fertilization of linguistics and close fields, such as psychology, cognitive science, the social sciences, and education. We are aiming at presenting interdisciplinary perspectives from all of these fields and encourage submissions from all research areas addressing the interface between language and cognition. The conference is organized into a main general session and 3 parallel thematic sessions:
Spatial categories in first and second language development
Language disorders in monolingual and bilingual speakers
Usage-based approaches to language acquisition.
For the main session topics may include, but are not limited to the following themes:
Developmental deficits and language use
Language acquisition and cognition
Language and cognitive development and evolution
Language and consciousness
Language and gesture
Language change and cognition
Language structure and cognition
Language use and cognition
Linguistic typology and cognition
Psycholinguistic approaches to language and cognition.
