Meeting Description:

The Third International Conference “Prominence in Language” aims at advancing
the understanding of the notion of prominence in language and at promoting the
exchange among researchers working on prominence-related phenomena from
various perspectives and disciplines.

Call for Papers:

Third International Conference ''Prominence in Language''
University of Cologne, 2-3 June 2022

Prominence relations establish a ranking between linguistic units, such as
prosodic units, arguments of a verb, and discourse referents. Prominence is
one of the key notions in language and communication: it accounts, for
instance, 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. It also links up with
social cognition and narratology. Recently, the perspective has been extended
to cover also sign language and multimodality.

The Third International Conference “Prominence in Language”  (the first and
second issues of the conference took place in Cologne in 2015 and 2018) aims
at advancing the understanding of the notion of prominence in language and at
promoting the exchange among researchers working on prominence-related
phenomena from various perspectives and disciplines. We invite contributions
employing quantitative and qualitative research methods, synchronic and
diachronic perspectives, cross-linguistic research, modeling, psycho-, and
neurolinguistic and cognitively oriented approaches as well as applied ones.

A (non-exhaustive) list of topics to be addressed at the workshop may include
the following:
1. the encoding and decoding of prominence 
2. language-specific and universal prominence scales and structures 
(e.g., animacy scale, referentiality scale, metrical scale, thematic role
hierarchy, etc.) 
3. factors determining the ranking of entities in discourse (e.g., agentivity,
topicality, activation, etc.) 
4. the role of prominence in the tense-aspect system
5. the relation between the prominence status of entities in discourse and
their availability as perspective-takers
6. prominence of propositions (e.g., rhetorical relations, argumentative
relations, etc.)
7. prominence and multimodality 
8. prominence and variation
9. psycho- and neurolinguistic underpinnings of prominence relations 
10. dynamic modeling of prominence
11. language comparison and cross-linguistic perspectives
12. prominence in language acquisition, bilingualism, and multilingualism

Invited Speakers:

Amalia Arvaniti (Radboud University Nijmegen) 
Dale Barr (University of Glasgow)
Dejan Matic (University of Münster)

January 31, 2022. Submissions are limited to a maximum of one individual and
