Iconicity has been the focus of considerable attention since the beginning of the twentieth century. It has been demonstrated that every aspect of language can be affected by the principles of iconicity. 

The University of Rouen will be organizing an International Conference on Prosody and Iconicity on 23-24 October 2008. 

Plenary Speakers: 
-Antoine Auchlin, University of Geneva
-John Ohala, University of Berkeley; 
-Anne Wichmann, University of Central Lancashire.

The parameters taken into account may include but are not limited to the following: 
- socio-linguistics and socio-phonetics
- speech situation and context; 
- attitudes and emotions; 
- gestures and multimodality;
- domains interaction (prosody, syntax, pragmatics, etc.)

A special interest will be given to the presentation and the comparison of different theoretical perspectives such as Information Structure theory, Grice's theory, Relevance theory, grammaticalization theory, Gussenhoven's biological codes, prosodic modelling, etc. 

Time for Papers: 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for questions.
