Workshop description:
Performative expression of meaning hinges on the act of producing a
certain form: without this act, the target meaning cannot be expressed
(in particular, it cannot be retrieved via ellipsis or anaphora
resolution). For instance, when we performatively express anger or
frustration by swearing, the act of swearing itself is crucial for
achieving our expressive goals. Performative expression of meaning is an
important part of our linguistic and near-linguistic behavior and can
involve meaning-form mappings of varied conventionalization status as
well as forms produced by a variety of articulators. For example, we can
performatively express our immediate emotions by producing fully
phonologized items like 'damn' or 'ouch', less phonologized
vocalizations like grunts or huffs, and different types of gesture
(facial, manual, full body, etc.) or prosodic modulations of varied
conventionalization status. We can also performatively produce various
types of forms to build rapport with someone or, conversely, to insult
them, to express aspects of our identity or our allegiance to a group or
a cause, to perform a ritual of some sort, etc. This workshop is aimed
to bring together researchers from various disciplines (linguistics,
philosophy, psychology, biology, etc.) interested in performativity in
human language and beyond. Please see a more detailed description here:
https://perforum.github.io/about.html.

Invited speakers:
Lea Allouche (University of Oslo): performativity in poetry
Victor Carranza Pinedo (École Normale Supérieure and University of
Milan): expressives in language
Raphaela Heesen (Durham University): communication of emotion in
non-human primates
Mihaela Popa-Wyatt (University of Manchester): topic TBA
Jonna Vuoskoski (University of Oslo): social dimension of music-evoked
emotions

Call for posters:
In addition to the invited talks, the workshop will feature a
peer-reviewed poster session. We invite abstract submissions to the
poster session that address any questions pertaining to performative
expression of meaning in language and beyond (see sample relevant
questions here: https://perforum.github.io/about.html). Poster
presenters will be expected to give a 3-minute lightning talk before the
poster session. The abstracts should be properly anonymized (including
the pdf metadata) and adhere to the following formatting requirements:
- at most 2 pages, including data, figures, tables, etc. + 1 additional
page for references only
- A4 format and 2.5cm margins, or Letter format and 1in margins
- 12pt font

Please send your abstracts to perforum.workshop at gmail.com. Please
provide the author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), and email address(es) in
the main body of the email.

Submission deadline: March 1, 2022 (anywhere in the world)
Notification of acceptance: March 22, 2022
