OBJECTIVES
The conference aims at bringing together cognitive linguists working in
France and abroad, and strengthening the network of discussion and
collaboration set in motion by the first two AFLiCo conferences held in
Bordeaux (2005) and Lille (2007).

The concept of grammar is of crucial importance to the cognitive
linguistics framework and forms the basis for numerous research topics.
As a constructed cognitive entity (by linguists or speakers), and/or an
emergent one, grammar lies at the heart of considerable theoretical
issues. The core position currently held by grammar is thus one to be
questioned.

Drawing on the themes from the last two AFLiCo conferences, we will
examine the concept of grammar in regard to its place in cognitive
linguistics, as well as in regard to its place in variants of the model,
which range from Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar to so-called construction
grammars. This year, the focus will be on the latter. In the wake of
Charles Fillmore and Paul Kay’s work, construction grammars endeavor to
describe grammar not in terms of “words and lists” (as in generative
grammar) but in terms of grammatical constructions whose overall
meanings are not predictable from their respective component structures.
This enterprise was initially limited to idiomatic constructions (e.g.,
throw in the towel, kick the bucket, etc.) but swiftly developed to deal
with more general constructions (cf. Adele Goldberg’s work on meaningful
argument structure). The idea that grammar is composed of constructions
– previously identifiable in the works of George Lakoff and Ronald
Langacker – currently fuels a vast paradigm and applies to a large
variety of linguistic phenomena in morphology, syntax, semantics, and
pragmatics.

GENERAL SESSIONS
The 3rd AFLiCo conference will also provide the occasion to address more
general points of discussion in relation to the question of grammar
(non-exhaustive list):
- The notion of linguistic units as linked to other concepts such as
entrenchment or frequency of occurrence
- Comparisons between different traditions (American and European)
regarding the establishment of a linguistic unit as a cognitive routine,
lexicalization, the symbolic thesis, etc.
- The acquisition of grammar (L1, L2)
- Constructions and diachrony
- The grammaticalization of constructions
- Methodological concerns (constitution and use of corpora)
- Grammars of gesture and kinesic systems
- The role of conceptual integration and grammatical blending in grammar
- The extension of cognitive linguistics into socio-pragmatics

In line with one of the main goals of AFLiCo, we welcome papers
elaborating the affinities between cognitive linguistics and related
theories (Gustave Guillaume, Antoine Culioli, Henri Adamczewski).

The organizers further encourage young researchers to submit an abstract.

It is to be noted that papers can bear on any language (not just English
or French)

THEMATIC SESSIONS
Organizers of theme sessions are kindly asked to provide the following
information:
- a short description of their session topic (300-500 words);
- an indication of the structure proposed for the whole session: order
of presentations, discussant contributions, breaks, and general
discussion by the audience;
- the abstracts from all of their speakers, accompanied by all the
information requested in the abstract specifications above.

Proponents can choose the internal structuring of their Theme Session
provided that the overall timetable of the conference (notably coffee
and lunch breaks) is kept intact.
Ideally, a theme session should take no longer than a whole morning or
afternoon. For any further detail you may need in the organization of
your theme session, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers
(aflico3@u-paris10.fr).
