Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2008 

Meeting Description:

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 

Call for Papers 

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. 

Conference Languages: English and French

Submission Procedure: 
Abstracts should be anonymous and no more than one side of A4. They should be
sent to the following address in PDF format: prosico2008 at hotmail.com

L'analyse
pourra se poursuivre dans des théories  comme la théorie de la
Structure de l'Information, la théorie de Grice, la théorie de la
Pertinence, la théorie de la grammaticalisation, les codes biologiques
de Gussenhoven, la modélisation prosodique, etc.

Présentations orales de 20 minutes, suivies de 10 minutes de discussions.
