Meeting Description:

This workshop takes ideophones as a starting point to investigate lexicalized
or conventionalized iconic forms in language from an interdisciplinary
perspective. The amount of iconic forms within languages varies greatly with
European languages having much fewer ideophones than languages such as
Japanese. However, linguistic research into European languages has often
focused on written language, with many iconic forms occurring predominantly in
the spoken medium, meaning they may have remained obscured from our sight.
Furthermore, a renewed focus on different communicative settings could reveal
more about the role of iconicity in language. Ideophones, for example, are
often used performatively, particularly in spoken narratives and in
combination with other iconic phenomena. The perception of iconicity is also
dependent on multiple factors such as language experience and social and
cultural conventions, and as such, many iconic forms, including ideophones,
are not crosslinguistically transparent. Nevertheless, a unified account of
iconicity is desirable and in order to achieve this, all aspects of iconic
phenomena, including their cognitive, social and cultural basis must be
considered. 

The key goals of this workshop are threefold: firstly, to raise awareness of
and discuss the variety of lexicalized and conventionalized iconic forms in
spoken language; secondly, to compare the role of lexicalized iconicity
crosslinguistically and in different communication settings; and lastly, to
facilitate an interdisciplinary exchange on lexicalized iconicity. 

Invited speaker: 
Maria Flaksman (LMU Munich, Anglistik und Amerikanistik)

Workshop coordinators: 
Kathryn Barnes, barnes[at]lingua.uni-frankfurt.de (Goethe-University Frankfurt
am Main) and Aleksandra Ćwiek, cwiek[at]leibniz-zas.de (Leibniz-Zentrum
Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft)


Call for Papers:

Potential research topics include the varying roles of different iconic forms
crosslinguistically, the interaction of ideophones and other iconic phenomena,
the use and effect of ideophones and iconicity in performances and the
language specific nature of iconicity and perceptions of iconicity. 

We welcome abstracts not only on ideophones, but also on onomatopoeia,
phonesthemes, expressive and iconic morphology as well as phonology, and
other, similar iconic phenomena from a range of disciplines, such as formal
linguistics, sociolinguistics, language acquisition and psychology.

Abstracts 
should be anonymous and at most 2 pages in length, 12pt, examples and
references included. Please send your abstracts electronically in PDF-format
to barnes[at]lingua.uni-frankfurt.de, and include your name, affiliation, and
the title of the abstract in the body of the e-mail. The talks will be 20
minutes + 10 minutes discussion.

Workshop information:
Please note that the regulations of the German Linguistics Society (DGfS) do
not allow workshop participants to present two or more papers in different
workshops. However, you are allowed to be named co-authors in more than one
presentation.

Important dates:
Deadlines for abstracts: August 20, 2022
Notification: September 10, 2022
