The aim of this conference is to provide a forum capable of capturing the multidisciplinary nature of most of the research on Applied Linguistics. And thus, to be a commonplace for researchers from different disciplines and subdisciplines whose priority objective is the study of language in all its manifestations.

The Conference will cover the following 10 areas:

• Language acquisition
• Language teaching
• Language for specific purposes
• Language psychology, child language and psycolinguistics
• Sociolinguistics
• Pragmatics
• Discourse analysis
• Corpus linguistics, computational linguistics and linguistic engineering
• Lexicology and lexicography
• Translation and interpreting

With the title “FROM APPLIED LINGUISTICS TO THE LINGUISTICS OF THE MIND: ISSUES, PRACTICES AND TRENDS” we intend to bring to the memory of the members of the association and to all the participants at the Conference that there is a current theme that has been extensively debated but it is still an advanced research field, that is, the connection between language and mind. Debates about this topic have been controversial and have turned into debates on metaphysics, epistemology, metaphilosophy, etc. But here we intend to reach them from the scientific approach of the linguistic capacity and the mind, and the analysis of its application in different issues, practices and trends.

As a whole, we wish the Conference to constitute an active forum for exchange of opinions and ideas, thesis formulation and expositions, just as the start of new trends and lines of investigation on the cardinal points that define the main body of research on Applied Linguistics.

Official languages: English and Spanish.
