Membership

The main goal of the International Cognitive Linguistics Association is to disseminate its research findings among its members. Therefore the most important benefit to a membership is the journal of the ICLA, Cognitive Linguistics, which comes with the membership.

Membership in the association for 2008 is

  • €68,00 for regular members (plus postage)
  • €39,00 for student members (plus postage)

Surface mail postage to countries outside Germany is about €9,60. See postage costs under Cognitive Linguistics for the current range of shipping costs and options.

The journal publisher, Mouton de Gruyter, collects the membership fees and remits ICLA's portion to the organization.

Membership benefits

The following membership benefits are available for ICLA members in good standing:

  • The journal Cognitive Linguistics (comes with membership).

    As announced to members in April 2008, plans are underway to make the journal available online to members from a password-protected site. Mouton is still working out the technical issues that will allow members to access this site. It is hoped that this access will be available in 2009.

  • The Cognitive Linguistics Bibliography, free online with ICLA membership/subscription to Cognitive Linguistics
  • A substantial reduction in the participation fee for ICLA members at ICLC Conferences

  • Special offers for discounted cognitive linguistics titles published by Mouton de Gruyter (see Cognitive Linguistics Research and click on the link to the .pdf download "Special Discount for ICLA Members")
  • As announced in January 2008, there is an increased discount, now 30%, on books published by John Benjamins. Indicate that you are a member of ICLA when ordering.

To become an ICLA member

Use the membership registration form to sign up as a member of the ICLA. Print the form and fill it out manually; then mail or fax it to Mouton at the address on the form.

Your membership will begin with all issues in the year you sign up, i.e. joining in 2007 means that you will receive all the numbers published in 2007, for the 2007 price. If you join the ICLA after the first issues of the year have been published and wish a later start date for your journal (e.g. 2008), please indicate that on the printed form before faxing or mailing it.

Retroactive subscriptions to previous years' issues can also be handled, as well as sales of individual numbers; please contact the Secretary/Treasurer Ad Foolen at a.foolen AT let.ru.nl to inquire.

In subsequent years, your membership will be continued automatically, unless you inform the Secretary/Treasurer (address above) in writing that you wish to resign your membership.

Institutional subscriptions

The institutional price for the journal for 2007 is €355 plus postage. The institutional price includes online access for no additional charge. (Print-only or online-only subscriptions are available for €328).

Institutional subscribers, please do not use this form. Instead, contact Mouton directly at Mouton de Gruyter, Genthiner Str. 13, 10785 Berlin, Germany, Fax: +49 30 260 05 351 .
