The Fourth International Conference of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association has officially ended. The Conference Committee and the Governing Board of the GCLA thank all speakers, participants and University of Bremen staff members and student assistants who have contributed to making the conference a success in the tradition of the conferences in Hamburg, Munich and Leipzig.
The general assembly of the DGKL/GCLA has elected Anatol Stefanowitsch as the association's new president. In addition, Juliana Goschler and Constanze Juchem were newly elected to the governing board, replacing Doris Schönefeld and Klaus-Uwe Panther, who are leaving the board after two and three election periods respectively. The Fifth International Conference of the German Cognitive Linguistics Association will be organized by Martin Hilpert in Freiburg in 2012.
