Welcome to the 6th UKCLC Conference

Bangor is widely recognised as one of the most scenic university settings in the UK, set between the famous Snowdonia mountains and the sea. The location, the scenery and the surrounding area are amongst the reasons why Bangor University enjoys rising student numbers and continuously attracts researchers from around the world for conferences and extended research visits, spanning many disciplines and research areas. This provides an ideal setting for an intense and thought provoking interdisciplinary conference, .

The School of Linguistics and English Language at Bangor University is a major centre for Cognitive Linguistics and will host the 6th UK Cognitive Linguistics Conference in the beautiful scenery of North Wales.
