DESCRIPTION:<p>INVESTIGATING SEMANTICS: EMPIRICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACHES<br> Second Call for Papers<br> <br> Bochum\, October 10-12\, 2013<br> Venue: Ruhr-University-Bochum<br> <a href="http://www.rub.de/phil-lang/investigating/">http://www.rub.de/phil-lang/investigating/</a><br> <br> ORGANIZATION<br> Erica Cosentino\, Dirk Kindermann\, Max K&ouml\;lbel\, Maria Spychalska\, Markus<br> Werning.<br> <br> Natural language semantics is today a wide-ranging and methodologically<br> diverse discipline. One can distinguish broadly between those who use<br> experimental methods from those who don't. Mostly\, semanticists in<br> psychology or neuro-science work experimentally\, while philosophers\,<br> logicians and linguists work non-experimentally. However\, the variety of<br> approaches and methods among both groups is huge. Even within the camp of<br> theoretical semantics there are numerous communities: formal semantics\,<br> possible world semantics\, discourse representation theory\, etc. The same<br> heterogeneity is present in the camp of empirical researchers: psycho- and<br> neuro-linguistics\, corpus linguistics\, etc. The aim of the workshop is to<br> bring together these different branches which are often working on very<br> related topics. The workshop will not only present the variety of empirical<br> and theoretical approaches to semantics\, but also invites explicit<br> discussions of the neurobiological and psychological basis of semantics as<br> well as its methods\, and epistemology.<br> <br> <br> INVITED SPEAKERS<br> Giosu&egrave\; Baggio (SISSA\, Triest)<br> Derek Ball (U St. Andrews)<br> Emma Borg (U Reading)<br> Anna Borghi (U Bologna)<br> Manfred Krifka (ZAS\, Berlin)<br> Gina Kuperberg (MGH\, Tufts U)<br> Ira Noveck (CNRS\, Lyon)<br> Paul Pietroski (U Maryland)<br> Michiel van Lambalgen (U Amsterdam)<br> <br> We invite abstract submissions for papers (25+5 min) and posters related to<br> the topics of the conference.<br> <br> Exemplary topics:<br> - Compositionality<br> - Computational complexity in language<br> - Discourse semantics<br> - Generalized quantifiers<br> - Implicatures and presuppositions<br> - Interfaces between syntax\, semantics and pragmatics<br> - Lexical semantics<br> - Possible worlds semantics<br> - The nature of meaning: abstract-symbolic or embodied-simulative<br> - etc.<br> <br> Methods:<br> - Formal semantics<br> - General philosophical issues regarding semantics<br> - Philosophy of linguistics<br> - Semantics in experimental philosophy &ndash\; experimental pragmatics<br> - Semantics with corpus-linguistic methods<br> - Semantics with neuro-linguistic methods<br> - Semantics with psycho-linguistic methods<br> - etc.<br> <br> Abstract Submission Deadline: June 16\, 2013<br> <br> CONTACT: <a href="mailto:insemp@rub.de">insemp@rub.de</a>.</p>\n
