Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Ling & Literature 

Call Deadline: 01-May-2017 

Meeting Description:

The aim of the conference is to discuss the challenges of creating and
analyzing small linguistic, multimodal, and literary forms. We are most
interested in whether highly concise expression involves any special
strategies and mindset.

Language: English


Call for Papers: 

We invite contributions from linguists, literary scholars, arts and media
scholars, on any aspect of this topic, including:

- Theoretical reflection on the semantics, pragmatics, and stylistics of small
forms 
- The specifics of such forms as micro-poetry and micro-fiction; concrete and
visual poems; haikus, limericks; aphorisms, epigrams; nursery rhymes; short
news stories; video clips; jokes; ads; Internet memes; Facebook posts and
comments; twits; short text messages; etc. 

As a logical extension of our topic, we also hope to hold a special section on
Nothing – the cases of null form, but some semantic content (think ‘meaningful
silence’; John Cage’s 4’33’’, etc.)     
 
Brief abstracts (up to 200 words) should be sent to smallforms1 at gmail.com

Dates: 

Abstract submission/ Notification of acceptance: 1 May 2017.
Deadline for registration: 15 May 2017
Conference: 26-27 June 2017
