Universite catholique de Louvain
"Fourth Symposium on Iconicity in Language and Literature"
Louvain-la-Neuve, 27-29 March 2003.
CFP: 15 nov. 2002As a follow-up to studies presented at three previous
symposia held in Zurich (1997), Amsterdam (1999) and Jena
(2001) this international and interdisciplinary symposium
will present a fourth series of detailed case studies.
The scholarly aim of the conference is to provide evidence
for the pervasive presence of iconicity (i.e. form miming
meaning, form miming form) in language and literature.
Focussing on the Germanic and Romance languages, papers
are accepted, which study iconically used forms at any
level of language (sound, rhythm, typography, vocabulary,
syntax), in narrative and poetic form, and in any variety
of discourse (literary texts, historical texts, political
texts, pidgins and creoles, advertising, children's language,
sign language, language and music, literature and music, etc.).
The type of iconicity may range from the more "imagic"
or concrete to the more abstract or "diagrammatic".This symposium will open up its range of interest to music,
understood as a language in its own right or as an element
of complex messages (i.e. opera, songs, advertising, etc.).Please check <http://iconicity.fltr.ucl.ac.be>
for further information and electronic registration.The deadline for submission of abstracts is
November 15, 2002.
