SUMMARY:CiLD 2026: Construal in Language and Disco
 urse, University of Łódź [PL]
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260921

LOCATION:University of Łódź [PL]
DESCRIPTION:The conference will focus on construal
  in linguistics, encompassing, though not limited 
 to, cognitive linguistics, forensics, discourse st
 udies, pragmatics, social interaction, narrative, 
 storytelling, and literature. By bringing all thes
 e approaches together, the conference aims to esta
 blish construal as a unifying concept for understa
 nding meaning in language and discourse.  The conf
 erence adopts a flexible view of the relationship 
 between construal and linguistic expression/coding
 . Construal refers broadly to how events, particip
 ants, relations, inferences, evaluations, and temp
 oral structures are conceptualised, framed, and ma
 de salient, while verbal and non-verbal resources—
 lexical, grammatical, prosodic, gestural, visual, 
 and multimodal—are among the means through which s
 uch construals are communicated and negotiated in 
 discourse.     CiLD invited papers on these topics
  (and their sub-topics): Cognitive Linguistics; Di
 scourse, Pragmatics & Narrative; Sociology & Socia
 l Interaction; and Narrative, Storytelling & Liter
 ature. The abstracts for individual papers (20-min
 ute presentation + 10-minute discussion) should be
  max. 200 words long, in English and accompanied b
 y a short biographical note (max. 100 words) and 3
 –5 keywords.  See the official website for more in
 formation and the submission form.
