Meeting Description:

Contributions are invited to a panel on ‘The Diversity of Irony’ to be held at
the 14th International Cognitive Linguistics Conference, Tartu, Estonia.

Panel organisers: Professor Angeliki Athanasiadou (Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki) and Professor Herbert Colston (University of Alberta).

Abstracts must be submitted by email directly to the panel organizers,
formatted according to the conference submission guidelines, by August 15,
2016.


Call for Papers: 

The proposed theme session aims to continue the discussion on irony started in
ICLC 13 in Newcastle.

This panel invites researchers and scholars working on irony in its full
diversity (across languages and cultures or within a particular language)—
diversity in irony types, in modality, media, and in the scope of irony.
Topics could include but are not limited to: situational & verbal irony,
gestural and other non-verbal ironic usage or processing (comprehension,
interpretation, appreciation, etc.), speech, text, image, CMC and other
venues, as well as scopes ranging from sub-lexical through utterance,
construction and broader discourses.  Both descriptive and theoretical work is
acceptable.  Research exploring varying affordances of irony wrought by
structural differences between and across languages and language families is
also particularly welcome.  

As organizers, we are particularly interested in explorations and evidence of
both commonalities and deviances in what constitutes ‘irony’ across these
areas of diversity, with an aim toward an increased understanding of irony as
a potentially fundamental mode of thought and communication.  

To this end, proposals are encouraged to address potential patterns across
irony from diverse perspectives, with consideration given toward how the
particular niche of irony addressed in the presented work might align or
contrast with other strands of irony performance and cognition.

One goal of the panel is to explore potential underlying causes, motivations,
fundamentals or other parent phenomena of irony, be they epiphenomenal,
embodied, cognitive, social, merely utilitarian or other.

Considerations or explorations of irony with respect to other forms of
figurative language are also of interest, toward the same goal of delving
deeper into the underpinnings of irony and figurativeness broadly construed.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
