Swedish Association for Language and Cognition (SALC)
The Swedish Association for Language and Cognition (SALC) was formed on June 16 2006 at an international conference at Umeå University involving mostly linguists, but also psychologists and cognitive scientists working on a variety of topics and utilising different methodologies.
The major goal of the association is to promote the study of the relationship between language and cognition, both in Sweden and internationally. This involves any type of research in which language is not treated in isolation (e.g. as a “module”), but both as based on structures and processes of general cognition and social cognition, and as affecting such structures and processes. The association is intended to be a forum for cooperation and exchange of ideas between disciplines, fields of study and theoretical frameworks.
SALC 2009 will take place June 10-12 at Stockholm University. A website is in preparation.
