Meeting Description:

The relation between prosodic and referential structure

Workshop organized as part of the Annual Conference of the German Linguistic
Society (DGfS) to be held at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, March 7-9,
2018. 

Organizers:
Stefan Baumann, Klaus von Heusinger & Petra B. Schumacher; University of
Cologne. 

Invited Speakers:
Jennifer Arnold (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
Jennifer Cole (Northwestern University)

Aims and background:
Prosodic structure (of spoken language) contributes together with syntactic,
morphological and lexical material to the referential structure of phrases,
sentences and discourses. Research on prosodic and referential structure has
mainly focused on the linguistic cues speakers use to mark the discourse
status of a referring expression (cf. Arnold 2010). We would like to broaden
this view to different levels of interaction between prosodic and referential
structure and address the following questions: (i) Which aspects determine the
prosodic setup of referring expressions? (ii) What is the influence of the
prosodic structure on the semantics of sentences? (iii) To what extent do we
rely on prosodic information to understand discourse structure?


Call for Papers:

Deadline for submissions: 15 August 2017 

We welcome submissions for oral presentations (20 min + 10 min for discussion)
from both theoretical and experimental linguists. We explicitly encourage
presentations of state-of-the-art methods like Rapid Prosody Transcription
(cf. Cole & Shattuck-Hufnagel 2016) that contribute to the detection of
fine-grained referential profiles. 

We accept two-page abstracts (one page for text; figures and references on the
second page), describing original research on the topic. Submissions must be
strictly anonymous. 

Please submit your contribution to: prosody-reference(at)uni-koeln.de

Important dates: 
15 August 2017: deadline for submissions

15 September 2017: notification of acceptance
