Meeting Description:

Iconicity is understood (after Charles Sanders Peirce) as a
relationship of resemblance between the signifier and the signified.
It is known to penetrate all levels of language: modern languages
across the globe are reported to contain iconic (imitative) words in
their lexicons ‒ ideophones, onomatopoeic, and mimetic words (see
Anderson 1998, Bańko 2009, Childs 1988, Hinton et al. 1994,
Körtvélyessy 2011, Moreno-Cabrera 2020, Voeltz et al. 2001, Voronin
2006). Signed languages also have a high percentage of self-evident,
‘transparent’ signs (Frishberg 1975, Klima & Bellugi 1979, Perniss et
al. 2017). Iconicity is also attested in morphology and syntax
(Fischer 2001, Haiman 1985), for example, it manifests itself in the
form of sentence structure which reflects the sequence of the events
which are being described.

This workshop is designed for the purpose of discussion of differences
and similarities between iconic words and related phenomena in
languages from different families.

This workshop focuses on all shades of iconicity, from the description
and comparison of different classes of imitative words (ideophones,
onomatopoeic, and sound symbolic words) to various iconic and
sound-symbolic phenomena in languages across the globe. We welcome
talk proposals on the following iconicity-related subjects, among
others:

       Onomatopoeic words and ideophones – their typology and
classification
       System-integration and markedness of ideophones / imitative
interjections
       Diachronic changes in imitative vocabularies
       Cross-linguistic studies in lexical iconicity and sound
symbolism
       Imitative words as parts of speech and their syntax
       Experimental research on sound symbolism
       Iconicity in grammar
       Iconicity in gesture
       Iconicity in animal communication
