Meeting Description:

University of Brighton, UK       
11th International Symposium on Iconicity in Language and Literature, 6-8
April 2017
http://www.iconicity.ch/en/conferences/index.php

The eleventh in a series of biennial international and interdisciplinary
symposia organized by the Iconicity Research Project since 1997, this meeting
will once again focus on iconicity – resemblance mappings between form and
meaning – in language and in literature. The theme of the 2017 symposium is
the “operationalization of iconicity” – concerned with being able to define
and describe different types and levels of iconicity as they appear in
different media and modalities. We especially welcome proposals for papers
dedicated to this theme, but encourage submissions investigating iconicity
from a broad range of perspectives.

Call for Papers: 

Previous symposia have concentrated, on the one hand, on iconicity as a
driving force in language (spoken and signed) on all grammatical levels, as
well as in language change, language acquisition, and language processing. On
the other hand, they have addressed iconicity in language use across a range
of media (from print to performance), incorporating the uses of iconic images,
diagrams and metaphors at different levels of abstraction and in all varieties
of text and discourse (literary texts, historical texts, political texts,
advertising, etc.). These possibilities remain open for the 2017 symposium.

The symposium will be hosted by the School of Humanities, University of
Brighton, UK. The symposium language will be English. Please contact the
organisers regarding sign language interpretation. Presentation time for
papers will be 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion. A selected
number of essays will be published in the Iconicity in Language and Literature
(ILL) series published by John Benjamins
(http://benjamins.com/#catalog/books/ill/main).

Keynotes speakers: Neil Cohn (Tilburg University, Netherlands), Mark
Dingemanse (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen,
Netherlands), Lucia Santaella (São Paulo Catholic University, Brazil).

Abstract submission: We invite abstracts (450 words maximum, excluding
references) of unpublished work for individual papers and theme panels. Theme
panels should focus on a well-defined topic and should consist of three
individual papers (corresponding to a two-hour slot). Abstracts for individual
papers composing a theme should be submitted in addition to an abstract
proposing the theme.

Important dates: The deadline for abstract submission is 15 November 2016.
Please submit abstracts to all three organizers (see names and emails listed
below).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
