We are pleased to announce our conference on the schematic basis of meaning in language, music, and visual cognition. The event aims to gather linguists, psychologists, philosophers, neuroscientists, music, visual cognition, and multimodality researchers interested in schematic structures underlying (conceptual) meaning construction from any theoretical perspective (formal, functional, or eclectic). The phenomena of interest include, but are not limited to, image schemas, conceptual primitives, scripts, cross-modal correspondences, conceptual metaphors, metonymies and blends, semantic frames, mental and simulation models, and multimodal aspects of schematic meaning generation.

Confirmed keynotes: Ray Jackendoff (Tufts / MIT), Todd Oakley (CWRU), Beate Hampe (Erfurt).

Host: University of Niš, Serbia
