Abstract:

The contributions to this volume focus on the interrelation between prosody
and iconicity and shed new light on the topic by enlarging the number of
parameters traditionally considered, and by confronting various theoretical
backgrounds. The parameters taken into account include socio-linguistic
criteria (age, sex, socio-economic category, region); different kinds of
speech situation; affect (attitudes and emotions); gestures; morpho-syntactic
constraints. The analysis is pursued in theoretical frameworks such as
Information Structure theory, Grice's theory, Relevance theory, experiential
blending, Gussenhoven's biological codes, prosodic modelling, automatic
detection. The languages covered include English, French, Italian, Swedish,
Egyptian Arabic, and Majorcan Catalan. The book will be of great interest to
linguists working on prosody.
