DESCRIPTION:<p>There are many varieties of quotation in natural language\, ranging from pure quotation (<em>"cat" has three letters</em>) and direct quotation (<em>"That's ridiculous\," said Mary</em>) to indirect discourse (<em>Mary said that that was ridiculous</em>)\, and including also less well studied phenomena like scare quotes\, free indirect discourse\, and role shift in sign language.<br>&nbsp\; Where philosophers have been fascinated with the self-referential aspects of pure and direct quotation\, linguists have been focusing primarily on indirect reports. Over the past 10-15 years the two traditions have joined forces to study (i) various forms of perspective shifting in indirect discourse (cf. Schlenker 2003)\, and (ii) the ubiquitous phenomenon of "mixed quotation" (<em>Mary said that that's "ridiculous"</em>\, cf. Cappelen &amp\; Lepore 1997). It is becoming increasingly clear that quotation challenges fundamental assumptions about (i) the semantics-pragmatics interface (Potts 2007)\; (ii) the use-mention / direct-indirect dichotomies (Maier 2009)\; (iii) the nature of indexicality and context shift (Recanati 2000)\; and (iv) compositionality (Werning 2005). It is issues like these that will be the topic of our workshop. In order to move the discussion forward\, we aim at a truly interdisciplinary exchange of ideas\, bringing together interested philosophers and linguists from a variety of subdisciplines.</p>
