			International Conference on 'Prominence in Language'
University of Cologne, 15-17 June 2015

Prominence relations establish a ranking between 
linguistic units, such as prosodic units, arguments of a verb and 
discourse referents. Prominence is therefore one of the key notions in 
language and communication: it accounts for prosodic highlighting and 
for the building of linguistic structure and discourse representations. 
Accordingly, the study of prominence requires an interdisciplinary 
linguistic approach, involving phonology and phonetics, syntax, 
semantics and discourse pragmatics. Our conference aims to foster the 
understanding of the notion of prominence. We invite contributions 
employing quantitative and qualitative research methods, a synchronic or
 diachronic perspective, as well as psycho- and neuro-linguistic 
approaches.

A (non-exhaustive) list of topics to be addressed at the workshop may include the following:the encoding of prominence at the phonetics-phonology interface; language-specific
 and universal prominence scales (animacy scale, referentiality scale, 
thematic role hierarchy, topic scales, etc.); factors determining the ranking of entities in discourse (e.g., accessibility, salience, activation, topicality); psycho- and neuro-linguistic underpinnings of prominence relations. The
 workshop will feature plenary talks in the fields of 
phonetics-phonology, morphosyntax-semantics and discourse by three 
keynote speakers: Sónia Frota (University of Lisbon) Manfred Krifka (ZAS/Humboldt University of Berlin) Hannah Rohde (University of Edinburgh) Hosted
 by the Cologne Center of Language Sciences (CCLS), the workshop will 
take place on the University of Cologne campus from 15 to 17 June 2015. 
The event is sponsored by the Emerging Group “Dynamic Structuring in 
Language and Communication” (DSLC), funded by the Institutional Strategy
 of the University of Cologne (ZUK 81/1). 

Abstract submission
We ask for the submission of abstracts on 
prominence-related phenomena by March 1, 2015. Submissions are limited 
to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per author or two 
joint abstracts per author. Abstracts should be written in English and
