Meeting Description:

This conference is the fourth in a series which provides a forum for those 
working on the relationship between prosody and discourse.  As the 
previous conferences have shown, there is a range of phenomena which 
illustrate how research in prosody feeds into research in discourse and vice 
versa - for example, the communication of attitudes and emotions, 
constraints on implicit meaning, focus and information structure, the 
communication of irony, interaction and interactive meaning, humour in 
discourse, parentheticals, the interpretation of anaphora, the identification 
of processing units, and the identification of genre. The relationship 
between prosody and discourse has been viewed from the perspective of 
phonology, semantics, syntax, pragmatics, language acquisition, language 
processing, language pathology, stylistics, language evolution, and speech 
synthesis. Moreover, research has been carried out in a wide range of 
theoretical paradigms. We now aim to build on this research, and in this way 
develop a greater understanding of phenomena at the prosody-discourse 
interface.

The conference will consist of four parts:

1. Research Training Workshop (for research students and academics who 
wish to develop an understanding of the issues involved in transcribing 
prosodic structure).
2. Oral presentations on any area of the prosody-discourse interface
3. Poster sessions on any area of the prosody-discourse interface
4. Special workshop on expressive and affective prosody (speakers: Diane 
Blakemore, Chris Potts, Marc Schroeder)

We now invite researchers in prosody and discourse to submit abstract for 
inclusion in themed sessions on any area of the prosody-discourse interface 
(including the topic of the special workshop). We expect abstracts to 
address the following questions from a range of theoretical paradigms:

-What are the different prosodic subsystems; how do they interact; and 
how do they contribute to the interpretation of discourse?
-How should we describe and analyze prosodic facts?
-What are the relevant units for the analysis of discourse; and what are 
their prosodic properties?
-How is discourse processed; and how does prosody affect discourse 
processing?
-How do context and prosody interact in the interpretation of discourse?
-What is 'tone of voice' and how does it affect interpretation?
-How do L1 and L2 speakers acquire an understanding of the relationship 
between prosody and context?
-What are the best methodological tools for the description and 
transcription of the prosodic properties of discourse?
