Workshop on Prosody and Meaning: Information Structure and Beyond Aix-Marseille Université (AMU), Aix-en-Provence, France, 8 November 2018
Call for Papers
We invite submissions for the Workshop Prosody and Meaning: Information Structure and Beyond, to be held at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage, Aix-Marseille Université (AMU), Aix-en-Provence, France, 8 November 2018.
The Workshop is co-located with the 22nd SemDial Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue, 8-10 November 2018.
Aim Signaling the information structure of utterances has been shown to be one of the main dimensions of prosodic meaning in many languages, and remains a driving force behind the research on the typological variety of prosodic systems. Other aspects of prosodic meaning that have been investigated are the role of prosody in the generation of implicatures, in speech-act dynamics, in dialogue management, or in the marking of various kinds of questions, owing much to collaborations between phonologists and semanticists/pragmaticists. Other recent advances in the field are supported by the development of corpus resources and of new experimental methods for the investigation of the empirical validity of specific theoretical claims. This workshop aims at bringing together theoretical and psycholinguists working on the prosody/meaning interface in different languages as well as computational linguists developing tools for prosody-meaning corpus annotation, exploration and processing.
Invited Speakers Michael Wagner, McGill University Pilar Prieto, ICREA-Universitat Pompeu Fabra
Topics Topics include, but are not limited to: - prosodic reflexes of information structure in different languages and their relationship with other grammatical reflexes of information structure (morphological or syntactical), - the relationship between information structure, ellipsis or clause fragments and prosody, - the interplay between information structure and other aspects of prosodic meaning such as speech acts, attitude signaling, or turn-taking management, - more generally, the role of prosody in the management and interpretation of discourse and dialogue.
Submissions We invite the submission of abstracts for oral or poster presentations. Abstracts should be anonymous, in English, and should not exceed one page (2.5 cm margins, 12pt font size), with an extra page for examples, figures and references.
