Papers that examine the problems concerning pervasive context-sensitivity in natural language, from a philosophical or a psychological perspective, are invited. In particular, papers that approach foundational issues (such as the nature and extent of context-sensitivity in natural language) or that advance understanding of the extant positions may be given preference.


Papers should be prepared for blind review (title page with author information should be submitted together with an anonymised version of the paper as separate documents) and should be suitable for a 40-45 minute presentation.


The project is able to contribute funds for travel and accommodation for speakers. Contributions are expected to be in the region of 50%, although this can only be confirmed after the 31st July 2015.


Submissions should be sent via email to the following address:
