📌Thinking Language and Thought Seminar 📌
The seminar “Thinking Language and Thought,” organized by the LERMA and LIMPACT laboratories along with the Art and Literature Club at the Faculty of Letters and Humanities, Cadi Ayyad University, was a standout event exploring the connections between thought, language, and the cognitive and cultural factors that shape language—factors that are often taken for granted. Coordinated by Professors Boughoulid, El Haloui, and Hammani, this seminar offered a rich platform for intellectual exchange.
The seminar was divided into two main sessions. The first session featured presentations from second-year master’s students, who addressed diverse topics such as linguistic relativity and the advantages of bilingualism and multilingualism. The second session was dedicated to the scientific committee, diving into more specialized analyses.
One unique focus of the event was on the role of food imagery in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, which was highlighted in the final part of the seminar. This discussion will be explored further in upcoming posts. Stay tuned for more insights!
