Meeting Description:

13th International Symposium on Iconicity in Language and Literature
Sorbonne University, Paris

The topic of iconicity – resemblance between form and meaning – continues to
be highly relevant for the study of language (in both spoken and signed
modalities) and literature, but also for other semiotic systems and media
involving gesture, depiction and music, and for interdisciplinary fields such
as cognitive science and cognitive semiotics. At the theoretical level, the
understanding of the concept of iconicity supposes a good understanding of the
notions of resemblance or analogy. The theme of the 13th Symposium is
therefore “Iconicity and analogy”. 

Previous symposia have concentrated on iconicity as a driving force in
language (both spoken and signed) on all grammatical levels, as well as in
language change, language acquisition, and language processing. They have also
addressed iconicity in language use across a range of media (from print to
performance), incorporating the uses of iconic images, diagrams and metaphors
at different levels of abstraction and in all varieties of text and discourse
(literary texts, historical texts, political texts, advertising, language and
music, word and image, etc.). These possibilities remain open for the 2022
symposium, and we welcome abstracts to topics such as (but not limited to),
the following:

* Iconicity in the speech signal (“sound symbolism”, “ideophones”)
* Iconicity in grammar and text
* Iconicity in literature
* Iconicity in philosophy
* Iconicity in signed languages
* Iconicity in gestures
* Iconicity in pictures and other visual media
* Iconicity in music
* Iconicity in intermediality
* Iconicity in narration
* Iconicity in imagination (“mental imagery”)
* Iconicity in metaphors within and across semiotic systems
* Iconicity across sensory modalities (“multimodality” and “cross-modality”)
* Iconicity in evolution
* Iconicity in child development
 
Given the wide scope of the topic, accepted presentations need to be made
accessible for an interdisciplinary audience.  The symposium will be held in
French and in English.


Call for Papers:

We invite the submission of abstracts to the 13th Biennial International
Symposium on Iconicity in Language and Literature initiated by the Iconicity
Research Project, with the first symposium held in Zurich 1997, see
http://www.iconicity.ch/.

Abstract submission: We invite abstracts in English or in French (450 words
maximum, excluding references) of unpublished work for oral presentations,
posters, and theme sessions. 

* Oral papers: 30 minutes + 10 minutes discussion, in two or three parallel
sessions. (Deadline: 29 October 2021)  
* Posters: there will be a 2-hour poster session for up to 30 presentations
(Deadline: 29 October 2021).  

Each abstract will be reviewed by at least two reviewers from an international
Scientific Committee of experts in the respective field. The symposium will be
hosted by STIH and  the “UFR  Langue française” at Sorbonne University
(Paris). 
Abstracts are to be submitted through sciencesconf.org (see the link at the
website).
A selected number of essays will be published in the Iconicity in Language and
Literature (ILL) series published by John Benjamins.
