Meeting Description:

We would like to draw your attending to the workshop From icon to
abstraction: How iconicity shapes the lexicon across modalities.
Speakers of the two day-programme include (sign) linguists,
psychologists, cognitive scientists, and architects working on signed
and spoken languages. On Day 1 we will discuss iconicity and how it
shapes the lexicon. On Day 2 we will talk about how iconicity and
regularities on the lexicon assist learnability.

Location: Birmingham, UK

This event is funded by the AHRC and DGS.

We look forward to seeing you there.

on behalf of Gerardo Ortega, Pamela Perniss and the whole team
