Dear Colleague(s),
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who submitted abstracts to CLDC 10. However, due to recent concerns regarding the Coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, the 10th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition (CLDC 10) which was scheduled for May 01-02, 2020, has been cancelled. As it is impossible for us to guarantee the health and safety of our conference participants, we have had to make this difficult decision.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this necessary change in plans has caused you. If you have any further question, please don't hesitate to contact cldc2020@gmail.com
Thank you for your patience as we worked through this challenging situation. We look forward to welcoming you to the future CLDC conference.
In 2020, the 10th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition conference will be held from 1 to 2 May 2020 at National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan. This conference will be hosted by the Graduate Institute of Linguistics, National Taiwan University.
The CLDC aims to provide a forum for researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition to discuss new research findings, exchange innovative ideas and share the approaches in these fields. Topics relevant to language, discourse, and cognition as well as interdisciplinary studies stimulated over the last few years have given rise to a growing body of critical findings, making CLDC an important event in the field of cognitive linguistics in East Asia.
Consequently, studies presented at the conference CLDC focus on the study of languages from many perspectives, in order to enrich the dialogue between different fields of cognitive science. As such, the main theme of this joint conference is: CONVERSATION ANALYSIS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, referring to the place language often finds itself in.
The 10th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition (CLDC 10) provides an international forum that brings together researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition. The focus of CLDC 10 sets "Conversation Analysis and Artificial Intelligence" as the main theme in the hope that we can further explore various issues bearing on the symbiosis among cognition, language and other disciplines. We would like to invite original abstracts on topics dealing with, but not limited to, the following disciplines or sub-disciplines:
The 10th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition (CLDC 10) features a special theme titled "Conversation Analysis and Artificial Intelligence". In recent years, the development of new methods and tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) allows for more possibilities to investigate languages. Linguistics knowledge such as conversation analysis, on the other hand, helps to design better and authentic conversations for machines. In view of the importance and potential of this topic, the special theme of CLDC 10 invites abstracts on research related to various aspects of CONVERSATION ANALYSIS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, including theoretical and/or applied and interdisciplinary studies. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:
