<div class="PlainText elementToProof">Meeting Description:</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">The first international workshop “Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application” took place at the Institute of Cognitive Science at Osnabrück University in 2018, followed by two virtual events as part of
the Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BOSK) in 2020 and 2021. Currently, we are organizing a fourth (potentially hybrid) workshop “Concepts in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application” (CARLA) in 2022. In addition to a general main session, CARLA 2022
will feature a special session on concepts and register, in relation to the Collaborative Research Center CRC1412 “Register” at the Humboldt University of Berlin.</div>

<div class="PlainText elementToProof">Call for Abstracts:</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
“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, computer science.</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">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:</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">Representation: How can we formally describe and model concepts?<br>
Learning: Where do concepts come from and how are they acquired?<br>
Application: How are concepts used in cognitive tasks?</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">This workshop aims to provide 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 related
fields to submit abstracts to the workshop.</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">Topics of the special session:</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">In addition to the general main session on concepts, we would like to draw attention to our special session from researchers working at the interfaces between linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropology, and sociology.
This special session will focus on concepts and registers, in relation to the CRC1412 “Register”. Registers as socially recurring intra-individual (and inter-individual) variation represent concepts influenced by situational and functional settings, such as
the formality of the context of use and social relation of interlocutors. This special session is open to research on any aspects of concepts in relation to registers, and in particular, to research on register sensitivity of conceptual (lexical semantic and
pragmatic) knowledge. Subtopics include but are not restricted to: (1) Documentation, description, and formal analyses of register-sensitivity of concepts; (2) Semantics and pragmatics of socially-rich concepts such as “gender” (biological, social, psychological)
and “social status”; (3) Formal definitions and (e.g. probabilistic) analyses of theoretical concepts and notions in register research, such as “formality”; (4) Empirical investigations of these matters using corpus-linguistic, fieldwork, computational or
experimental methods.</div>

<div class="PlainText elementToProof">Submission and Publication:<br>
We invite the submission of abstracts via EasyChair:<br>
<a href="https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=carla2022" data-auth="NotApplicable">https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=carla2022</a></div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">The abstracts should use two to three pages (including references) and should be uploaded as pdf based on the following template (LaTeX or Word) which is based on Springer’s LNCS style, available on our website.</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof">Depending on the number and quality of the received submissions, selected contributions may be published after the workshop. For planning reasons, please indicate during the submission procedure whether you are interested
in a publication in the form of conference proceedings.</div>
