Conference description
The UK-Cognitive Linguistics Association was inaugurated at the 2005 meeting, held at Sussex University. The primary themes of this conference include a continuation of new directions in Cognitive Linguistics together with focus on the application of Cognitive Linguistics. This second theme is very current and amplifies the importance of language research to describe not only language in use, but also to relate theory and practice to issues generated in usage.
