Sissel Furuseth, Institutt for lingvistiske og nordiske studier, Universitetet

Metrics and versification in poetry and song
The 2018 NordMetrik conference
13–15 September 2018, Stockholm, Sweden

We invite talks on any topic pertaining to some aspect of the general theme of
the conference, including the following:

- The relationship between meter and phonology
- Textsetting, i.e. the alignment of text to music
- Generative metrics
- Cognitive poetics
- The invention and variation of meters in literary poetics
- Aesthetic effect of meter in poetry or song
- Typology of meter
- Cultural and linguistic influence on versification traditions
- Social and psychological constraints on versification
- The relationship between structure and performance of poetry and song

Each speaker will be given 20–25 minutes for presentation + 5–10 minutes for
discussion. The audience will come from various disciplines and we ask
speakers to bear this in mind so that presentations will be widely accessible.

To propose a paper, please send a title, 3–5 keywords and an abstract (1 page,
excluding references and diagrams, *.doc or *.txt) along with your name,
affiliation and contact information to:  metrics2018 at su.se .

The deadline for abstracts is 15 April 2018.

Welcome to Stockholm in September
