      Call for Abstracts:

"Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application" (CARLA) 
is an international workshop aimed at fostering interdisciplinary 
exchange about research on concepts. It invites contributions from all 
fields related to cognitive science, including (but not limited to) 
linguistics, artificial intelligence, psychology, philosophy, logic, and 
computer science.

The workshop is open for research on any aspect of concepts, but there 
are three overarching topics that are of special interest with the 
following (not exhaustive) list of exemplary subtopics:

  *

    Representation: How can we formally describe and model concepts?

      o

        Conceptual Spaces, Conceptual Domains, Frames

      o

        Lexical Semantics and Pragmatics

      o

        Grounded Cognition, Embodiment, 4E Cognition

  *

    Learning: Where do concepts come from and how are they acquired?

      o

        Evolution of Concepts

      o

        Cross-Cultural and Social Aspects of Concepts

      o

        Developmental Psychology of Concepts

  *

    Application: How are concepts used in cognitive tasks?

      o

        Event Cognition

      o

        Artificial Agents

      o

        Concept Blending, Metaphors, Creativity

This workshop provides an excellent opportunity to present and discuss 
ongoing research on concepts, both from theoretical/formal and 
applied/experimental viewpoints. We invite concept researchers from all 
fields related to cognitive science to submit abstracts to the workshop.


      Submission and Publication:

We invite the submission of abstracts via EasyChair untilMay 16, 2021.

Acceptance notifications will be sent out by June 16, 2021.

The abstracts should use two to three pages (including references) and
