Über diese Zeitschrift

Theoretical Linguistics is an open peer review journal. Each issue contains one long target article about a topic of general linguistic interest, together with several shorter reactions, comments and reflections on it. With this format, the journal aims to stimulate discussion in linguistics and adjacent fields of study, in particular across schools of different theoretical orientations.

The information status of iconic enrichments: modelling gradient at-issueness

Abstract

Linguistic structures can contribute different types of meaning alongside standard assertions, such as conventional implicatures and presuppositions, which have long been described as being non-at-issue meaning contributions. Although information status has long been handled as a binary opposition between non-at-issue and at-issue content, recent research suggests that a gradient approach may be more appropriate. Building on new – and in the formal linguistic framework so far mostly neglected – data targeting spoken and gestural iconicity, specifically iconic gestures and ideophones, this paper investigates the information status of such iconic contributions in spoken language and suggests a new theoretical concept of at-issueness by spelling it out as a gradient category. The paper highlights a range of factors which can affect the information status of iconic contributions, proposing a scale for iconic phenomena based on these factors. To formally model this scale, we propose an approach in which at-issueness is analysed as a gradient property based on a given structure-inherent at-issueness status and the corresponding proposition’s relevance to a Question Under Discussion in a given context. This analysis accounts for the variations in information status observed between different iconic enrichments and their impact on truth conditions and paves the way for an approach to Common Ground updates using this model. The analysis outlined here allows for a more nuanced understanding of non-at-issue content and its interaction with at-issue content and provides predictions which can guide further experimental work on information status and the factors that influence it.

Einreichen

Please send your manuscript to tl@rz.hu-berlin.de and directly to the editor at gaertner@nytud.hu.

Form of manuscript. All pages should be numbered. The first should include the article, title, and the author's name and affiliation. It should also include name and mailing address to be used for correspondence and transmission of proofs. The second page should include a list of symbols used in the article and the number of pages, number of tables, and number of figures. It should also contain a proposed running head of less than 65 characters. The third page should contain an abstract of about 100 words.

Style guidelines. When preparing a manuscript, authors should refer to the De Gruyter Mouton journal style sheet, especially regarding the proper format for citations and reference entries.

Tables. Tables are to be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals. Each table should be typed, doublespaced, with due regard for the proportions of the printed page. Footnotes to tables should be identified by superscript letters and placed at the bottom of the page containing the table.

Footnotes in text. Footnotes in the text should be identified by superscript numbers and listed consecutively on a separate page.

Figures. All illustrations are to be considered as figures, and each graph, drawing, or photograph should be numbered in sequence with arabic numerals. Original finished art work of all illustrations should be furnished. Photographic illustrations should not be used unless indispensable. Each figure should have a descriptive legend. Figures should be planned to fit the proportion of the printed page (11,4 x 17,8 cm = 4 3/8 x 6 7/8 inch), and care should be taken that lettering on the original is large enough to be legible after a reduction of 50 to 60%. Each figure should be identified in a margin with the name of the journal, author's name, and figure number.

Formulas and linguistic examples. Formulas, words, phrases, or sentences to which reference is made in the text should be numbered with arabic numerals; they should be referred to by citing the assigned numeral enclosed in parentheses.

Corrections. Authors are asked to check their manuscripts very carefully before submitting them in order to prevent delays and extra costs at the proof stage. In-text citations should be checked against listings in the References section to be sure that publication dates and the spelling of names match, and that all works cited are listed, and vice versa.

Proofs. Authors will receive electronic proofs (PDF format) for correction which must be returned by dates determined by the publishers.

Offprints. Upon publication, authors will receive electronic offprints (in PDF format). Guest editors and contributors to special issues will receive a complimentary print copy of the issue.
