OBJECTIVES This conference chiefly aims at consolidating and strengthening the network of cognitive linguists working in France and abroad by providing a forum for discussion and collaboration in the tradition of the preceding AFLiCo conferences in Bordeaux (2005), Lille (2007), Nanterre (2009), Lyon (2011) and Lille (2013) and the ‘JET’ workshops in Bordeaux (2010) and Paris (2012 and 2014).

The conference welcomes proposals linking cognitive and linguistic topics while taking into account social and cultural contexts, to model or document the integration of social and cultural information into linguistic structures (indexical properties of sound, lexical, grammatical or discursive patterns), or to examine how linguistic variety shapes social and cultural representations. The following areas are especially relevant to these thematic sessions:
Each of these areas is part of a common trend, bringing together social and cognitive science. The 6th AFLICO conference will be about the development of this trend in connection with the framework of Cognitive Linguistics. Our topics for 2015 encourage pluridisciplinary work along this new line of thought. In this line of work, the following issues have taken on special importance:
GENERAL THEMES The conference will not be limited to thematic sessions devoted to the main foci described above. The organisers also encourage researchers to submit proposals within other areas of cognitive linguistics. The organisers further encourage young researchers to submit an abstract.
