“Parole mie che per lo mondo siete” - International Conference of Studies on Quotation. (University of Verona, Interdoctoral days)

One may quote to emulate, to flatter, to mock, to quibble: quoting becomes stylistically and culturally significant to authors or literary works, thus conveying a great variety of meanings. Quotations are influenced by a number of aspects such as historical and cultural contexts, relationships to an auctoritas, and literary genres.

Call for Papers:

The conference aims at opening a space for discussion on quotation, therefore contributions ranging from ancient times to the present day will be accepted, with the aim of fostering a dialogue between several historical periods and literary genres.

Here is a list of potential areas of interest:

- Explicit, acknowledged, exhibited quotation
- Implicit, widespread, hidden quotation
- Quotation as praise, adherence
- Quotation as controversy, parody, rejection
- Stylistic, metric-formal, rhetorical quotation
- Interlinguistic, plurilinguistic, translated or paraphrased quotation
- Self-quotation
- Linguistics of quotation: morphosyntactic, prosodic, semantic and pragmatic aspects in reported speech strategies (direct and indirect) from a synchronic, diachronic and acquisitional perspective

Besides papers dealing with specific examples of quotation, theoretical contributions are encouraged.
