Call for Papers 

The ERIAC research group of the University of Rouen will be organizing an International Conference on Prosody and Iconicity on 23-24 October 2008. 
Plenary Speakers: John Ohala, University of Berkeley; Anne Wichmann, University of Central Lancashire; Antoine Auchlin, University of Geneva .
The purpose of the conference is to shed new light on the interrelation between prosody and iconicity by enlarging the number of parameters traditionally considered and by confronting various theoretical backgrounds. 
The parameters taken into account may include but are not limited to the following: 
- socio-linguistic criteria ( age, sex, socio-economic category, region); 
- different kinds of speech situation; 
- affect (attitudes and emotions); 
- gestures; 
- morpho-syntactic constraints. 

The analysis could be pursued in theoretical frameworks 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.
