Conference IDP 2011 The Prosody-Discourse Interface (including research training workshop on prosody and special workshop on expressives and affective prosody) University of Salford, Greater Manchester 12 September 2011 – 14 September (incl) (just after the LAGB 7 – 10 September 2011, at the University of Manchester) http://www.lagb.org.uk/?page_id=128
Invited speakers: Nicole Dehe, University of Konstanz John Local, University of York Chris Potts, University of Stanford Marc Schroeder, German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence
This conference is the fourth in a series which provides a forum for those working on the relationship between prosody and discourse. As the previous conferences have shown, there is a range of phenomena which illustrate how research in prosody feeds into research in discourse and vice versa – for example, the communication of attitudes and emotions, constraints on implicit meaning, focus and information structure, the communication of irony, interaction and interactive meaning, humour in discourse, parentheticals, the interpretation of anaphora, the identification of processing units, and the identification of genre. The relationship between prosody and discourse has been viewed from the perspective of phonology, semantics, syntax, pragmatics, language acquisition, language processing, language pathology, stylistics, language evolution, and speech synthesis. Moreover, research has been carried out in a wide range of theoretical paradigms. We now aim to build on this research, and in this way develop a greater understanding of phenomena at the prosody-discourse interface.
The conference will consist of four parts: 1. Research Training Workshop (for research students and academics who wish to develop an understanding of the issues involved in transcribing prosodic structure). 2. Oral presentations on any area of the prosody-discourse interface 3. P5oster sessions on any area of the prosody-discourse interface 4. Special workshop on expressive and affective prosody (speakers: Diane Blakemore, Chris Potts, Marc Schroeder)
We now invite researchers in prosody and discourse to submit abstract for inclusion in themed sessions on any area of the prosody-discourse interface (including the topic of the special workshop). We expect abstracts to address the following questions from a range of theoretical paradigms:
