Abstract:

The contributions to Iconic Investigations deal with linguistic or literary
aspects of language. While some studies analyze the cognitive structures of
language, others pay close attention to the sounds of spoken language and the
visual characteristics of written language. In addition this volume also
contains studies of media types such as music and visual images that are
integrated into the overall project to deepen the understanding of iconicity –
the creation of meaning by way of similarity relations. Iconicity is a
fundamental but relatively unexplored part of signification in language and
other media types. During the last decades, the study of iconicity has emerged
as a vital research area with far-reaching interdisciplinary scope and the
volume should be of interest for students and researchers interested in
scholarly fields such as semiotics, cognitive linguistics, conceptual metaphor
studies, poetry, intermediality, and multimodality.
