Call for Papers:
Submission deadline extended until 31 October 2026
The 5th Iconicity Seminar (IcoSem5) will be held in Daejeon, South
Korea on 1–3 April 2027.
IcoSem5 invites abstracts that pertain to linguistic iconicity, the
resemblance between linguistic form and meaning.
We call for papers for 30-minute presentations (20min presentation +
10min Q&A) dealing with any aspect of linguistic iconicity, such as:
 - Sound symbolism
 - Onomatopoeia and ideophones
 -  Sign language iconicity
 - Syntactic iconicity
 - Iconicity and language change
 - Iconicity in writing systems
 - Phonaesthetics
 - Phonaesthemes
Please send a 2-page abstract (including everything) in the following
format:
 - A4 paper
 - 2.5cm margin
 - 12pt Times New Roman
Please send your abstract to joo at res.otaru-uc.ac.jp. It will then be
reviewed by the organizer.
The extended deadline is 31 October 2026. Decisions will be
communicated to you on a rolling basis within two weeks after the
submission (and not necessarily after the deadline). We thus encourage
you to submit as soon as your abstract is ready so that you can plan
your trip well in advance.
Format of the Conference:
IcoSem5 is an in-person conference without virtual participation,
although some virtual presentations may be permitted in exceptional
cases.
The language of the conference is English. Live captions in English
will be provided during the presentations.
Participation Fee:
The participation fee is 50,000 Korean won for student presenters and
100,000 won for non-student presenters. It is free for non-presenting
auditors.
The fee is waived for participants studying or working at a
institution of a low income or lower middle income country (as defined
by World Bank).
Venue:
The conference will be held at the Daejeon Convention Center.
