The field of Cognitive Linguistics has aroused growing interest in discursive and descriptive language studies. Encompassing a variety of approaches that explore the interconnection between language and human cognition, this perspective has been crucial for understanding a range of linguistic phenomena.

In order to promote the exchange of ideas and research in this field, we invite national and international researchers to submit their original and unpublished contributions that address a variety of linguistic phenomena in usage situations, exploring the intersection between discourse, grammar and cognition.

We are particularly interested in articles that fit into the following areas:

1) Explorations of categorization in natural language, such as prototypes, metaphors, radial categories, Idealized Cognitive Models, frames, among others;

2) Investigation of the cognitive principles that influence grammatical organization, including iconicity, focal adjustments, and other aspects;

3) Analyses of the experiential basis of language, such as image schemes, force dynamics, and other elements related to human experience;

4) Investigation of the conceptual basis of grammar, covering constructions, micro-constructions, conceptual schemas, construal, among other aspects.

We hope to receive significant contributions that will broaden our understanding of the complex interaction between language and cognition.
