Meeting Description:

Prominence relations establish a ranking between linguistic units, such as
between prosodic units, or between arguments of a verb or between discourse
referents. Prominence is therefore one of the key notions in language and
communication: it accounts for prosodic highlighting and for the building of
linguistic structure and discourse representations. The SFB 1252 Prominence in
Language (University of Cologne) investigates the role of prominence from an
interdisciplinary linguistic perspective, involving phonology and phonetics,
morpho-syntax, semantics and discourse pragmatics. The Second International
Conference ''Prominence in Language“ (the first took place in Cologne in 2015)
aims at advancing the understanding of the notion of prominence and at
promoting the exchange among researchers working on prominence-related
phenomena from various perspectives. 

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions employing quantitative and qualitative research
methods, synchronic and diachronic perspectives, psycho- and neuro-linguistic
and cognitively oriented approaches as well as applied ones (such as automatic
translation).

Abstract submission: We ask for the submission of abstracts on
prominence-related phenomena by January 15, 2018. Submissions are limited to a
maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author or two joint
abstracts per author. Abstracts should be written in English and not exceed
500 words. Figures, examples and references might be additionally included,
but abstracts must not exceed two A4 pages. Please use Times New Roman, 12pt
font, single line spacing, and 2.5cm margins. Abstracts should be submitted
via EasyChair at the following address:
