Details

Languages differ in the ways they express time and the passing of time, and in the way they indicate the time and duration of events. Tense and aspect are the most common ways of marking the latter, but there are many different ways of doing this, and some languages may lack tense and/or aspect or use mood as some kind of proxy.

The topic of this workshop is linguistic variation in the expression of time and its philosophical implications. We welcome contributions from linguists, philosophers, anthropologists, and scientists in any other relevant field.

(Note: The December 4 submission deadline is for abstracts/proposals. A decision on which speakers to invite will be made before December 11.)
