DESCRIPTION:<p>This two-day conference\, hosted by the Saul Kripke Center at the CUNY Graduate Center\, will focus on the role and prospects of <strong>dynamic semantics</strong> in the theory of meaning. The aim is to bring together philosophers and linguists&mdash\;both supporters and critics of dynamic approaches&mdash\;to ask whether we&nbsp\;<em>need</em> dynamic semantics\, discuss the phenomena most strongly motivate it (modals\, conditionals\, anaphora\, presupposition\, assertion/retraction\, etc.)\, and how it compares against static or alternative accounts.</p>\n<p>Confirmed invited speakers <u>so far</u> include:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Matt Mandelkern (NYU)</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong><strong>Simon Charlow (Yale)</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong><strong>Karen Lewis (Barnard/Columbia)</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong><strong>Chris Barker (NYU)</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong><strong>Daniel W. Harris (Hunter/CUNY)</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Willow Starr (Cornell)</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Justin Bledin (Johns Hopkins)</strong></p>\n<p>We invite submissions from <strong>early-career researchers</strong>&mdash\;advanced PhD students and postdoctoral fellows&mdash\;on any topic related to dynamic semantics\, broadly construed (including critical or revisionary perspectives\, continuation-based frameworks\, speech-act-theoretic updates\, and work on the semantics&ndash\;pragmatics interface).</p>\n<p>Acceptance may be influenced in part by budgetary constraints and we particularly encourage submissions from researchers within reasonable travel distance of New York City.</p>\n<p>Please submit your <strong>abstract of 500 (min.) to 1\,000 (max.) words</strong> to:&nbsp\;kripkecenter@gc.cuny.edu&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The deadline is January 31\, 2026.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The conference will take place on&nbsp\;<strong>April 22nd - April 23rd\, 2026&nbsp\;</strong>at CUNY (Graduate Center).</p>
