as a factor in explanations and models of language structure, language learning, language processing, and language evolution. With a remarkable increase in the number of studies wielding the term ‘iconicity’ there is a growing need to specify and investigate
the notion of iconicity itself across modalities (speech, sign, and gesture). The aim of this workshop is to provide conceptual clarity and empirical evidence on the nature of iconicity and its role in language use, development, and processing. The guest speakers
come from across the language sciences, from gesture studies to neuroscience and from linguistic typology to sign language linguistics; and will share their take on iconicity, examining how they complement each other, how they can be investigated experimentally,
and how they shed light on language and communication.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
