Cognitive Linguistics in Biblical Interpretation


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Cognitive Linguistics in Biblical Interpretation section will hold 2 sessions at the 2012 meeting. (1) "Framing Health and Healing in Biblical Texts": The papers in this session will examine the use of cultural models and/or social/linguistic frames in cognitive linguistic analyses of specific biblical texts or corpora relating to healing (or health and well being more generally). The papers in this session will demonstrate the usefulness of cognitive models and/or frames in helping to make sense of biblical portrayals of healing and health. Paper proposals are being accepted for this session. (2) A joint session will be sponsored with the Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity group on the topic of "Recent Advances in Cognitive Science and their Significance for Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation." The papers for this session have been invited.
