Abstract:

Part of the set: Iconicity in Language and Literature: Volume 1: Form
Miming Meaning; Volume 2: The Motivated Sign; Volume 3: From Sign to
Signing; Volume 4: Outside-In - Inside-Out. 4 Volumes (set).

This fourth volume of the Iconicity series is, like its predecessors,
devoted to the study of iconicity in language and literature in all its
forms. Many of the papers turn the notion of iconicity 'inside-out', some
suggesting that 'less-is-more'; others focus on the cognitive factors
'inside' the brain that are important for the iconic phenomena that are
produced in the 'outside' world. In addition, this volume includes a paper
related to iconicity in music and its interaction with language. Other
papers range from the theoretical issues involved in the evolution of
language, to those that offer many 'inside-out' claims, such as claiming
that nouns are derived from pronouns, and as such should more properly be
called 'pro-pronouns'. Also, this volume includes perhaps the first
English-language analysis of the iconic aspects of sound symbolism in a
prayer from the Koran. This is a truly interdisciplinary collection that
should turn some of the notions of iconicity in language and literature
'outside-in' and 'inside-out'.
