International conference Sense and the Making of Sense

The conference is to cover a wide range of issues related to the concept of “meaning.” Meaning is revealed dynamically in pragmatics and sociocultural practice as one of the components of meaning in semantics. This approach will allow looking at how meaning functions as well as how it originates. We search for linguists, philosophers, historians, sociologists, culturologists interested in the analysis of the semantics and pragmatics of the languages of their disciplines, and, thus, in the semiotics of their subject areas.

The focus of the conference is the narrative practices of text and screen culture, issues of logical and linguistic semantics and pragmatics, argumentation, and rhetoric, meaning generation and its dynamics, cognitive phenomena of semiosis.
