The International Cognitive Linguistics Association (ICLA) is a linguistics association that sponsors conferences, major journals and books for relevant research in the field of linguistics. It is involved in the publication of research, a website and discussion forum, fosters regional affiliates, and provides a community for researchers in cognitive linguistics and others interested in such research[1] The ICLA is affiliated, among others, with the UK Cognitive Linguistics Association (UK-CLA) [1] the Slavic Cognitive Linguistics Association (SLCA)[2] and Polish Cognitive Linguistics Association.
The association is multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary in order to include human cognitive and cultural models. It has links with cognitive and social psychology, evolutionary and cultural anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and human interaction.
