John Benjamins Publishing announces a new work in Iconicity:

Iconicity in language and literature.
Max NÄNNY and Olga FISCHER (eds.)

The recent past has seen an increasing interest in iconicity
especially among linguists. This collection puts the interdisciplinary
study of iconic dimensions (comprising what has been termed
'imagic iconicity',as well as 'diagrammatic iconicity', i.e. iconicity of
a more abstract and less semiotic type) on the map, paying special attention
to the use of iconicity in literary texts. The studies presented here explore
iconicity from two different angles. A first group of authors brings into
focus how far the primary code, the code of grammar is influenced
by iconic motivation (with contributions on rules involved in discourse;
rules in word formation; and phonological rules), and
how originally iconic models have become conventionalized.
Others go one step further in exploring how, for instance, the presence of
iconicity can tell us more about the structure of human cognition,
or how the "iconicist desire for symmetry" can be related to the
symmetry of the human body. A second group of contributors is more
interested in the presence of iconicity as part of the secondary
code, i.e. in how speakers and writers remotivate or play with the
primary code; how they concretise what has become conventional or
how they use form to add to meaning in literary texts, commercial
language and in the new electronic use of texts.
