Meeting Description:

If we ask two linguists of divergent theoretical background about the nature
of the word cuckoo, we might face two different worlds. While in the English
linguistic tradition this word is categorized as onomatopoeia, its Slovak
equivalent kukučka is at most of onomatopoeic origin but definitely not
onomatopoeia itself. The relate onomatopoeia kukuk is treated as an
interjection. These contradictions suggest that the comprehension of
onomatopoeia is not universal. Theories of onomatopoeia (if available) seem to
be, similarly to onomatopoeia itself, language specific. In addition, there is
no in-depth analysis of the relation between onomatopoeia and other iconic
phenomena, such as ideophones, phonosthemes, etc.  Any description of the
state-of-the-art of onomatopoeia should take into account two basic issues –
its relation to the phenomenon of sound symbolism and its status with regard
to the Saussurean concept of arbitrariness.

The workshop’s aim is to discuss various approaches to any of the
above-mentioned topics. Papers focused on a cross-linguistic comparison of the
phenomena in question are most welcome.
