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of ideas and research in this field, we invite national and international researchers to submit their original and unpublished contributions that address a variety of linguistic phenomena in usage situations, exploring the intersection between discourse, grammar and cognition.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

This creative session seeks writers of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction who address Philadelphia’s past, present, and future creative evolution, revolution, and devolution in their work. 

ABSTRACT

As one of America’s oldest cities, Philadelphia has experienced drastic changes many times over, often celebrated or maligned by its creative class in music, literature, and performing arts. 

The Eudora Welty Society seeks submissions for its 2024 SAMLA panel, “Mirrors and Magnifications: Eudora Welty and Shifting Perspectives.” In alignment with this year’s SAMLA theme, Seen and Unseen, the panel aims to investigate the methods that Welty uses to mirror, frame, magnify, and even distort the vision of her characters and/or readers. Welty’s work displays a creative use of varying avenues of sight with material, political, and epistemological consequences—some examples from her fiction may be the dimmed lamp that contributes to R.J.

This panel seeks works investigating the tug between progressive and conservative ideals and influences on the Gothic genre, especially as they are expressed through the ways Nature and the environment are used and described.
