Meeting Description:
Alliteration in culture
a Folklore Society conference
at the Warburg Institute, London,
19th-20th January 2007.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Alliteration can be found in a broad range of linguistic forms, from old
Germanic verse to modern advertising jingles, from Finnic lullabies to
traditional proverbial comparisons, from the names of paired oxen to tabloid
headlines and contemporary football chants. Alliteration is however a rather
underexamined topic. This conference aims to address the phenomenon of repeated
initial sounds in a variety of languages and linguistic forms.
To this end, papers are sought from specialists in a wide range of
disciplines, including medieval literature, neurolinguistics, metrical studies,
folkloristics, rhetoric, onomastics, etc., to address topics such as:
-the psychology of the perception of sound-patterning,
-the varieties of alliteration,
-alliteration as mnemonic device,
-alliteration versus rhyme, and alliteration as a complement to rhyme,
-how alliteration features in metrical systems,
-how alliteration features in naming systems,
-why some languages/periods/authors favour alliteration,
-strategies for avoiding alliteration,
-why and when alliteration is replaced by other sound-patterning, notably rhyme,
-the relationship between alliteration and stress,
-the relationship between alliteration and grammar,
-alliteration and imprecision,
-alliteration and sound-symbolism,
-alliteration and parallelism,
-alliteration and archaism,
-eye-alliteration, and alliteration hidden by orthography,
-alliteration in hieratic language, and alliteration in colloquial language,
-alliteration in proverbial phrases,
-alliteration in legal phraseology,
-amongst other topics.
Please send titles and abstracts (75-150 words) of paper proposals
