DESCRIPTION:<p>In many respects\, what is expressed by means of the utterance of a sentence depends on the context in which the utterance takes place.&nbsp\; Theorists have attempted to explain this context-relativity in various ways.&nbsp\; One broad approach is to build context-relativity into the formal semantics of natural language.&nbsp\; This conference will deal with controversies that arise within this approach to countenancing context-relativity.</p>\n<p>Speakers (in alphabetical order):</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maria Aloni\, University of Amsterdam\, TBA</li>\n<li>Christopher Gauker\, University of Salzburg\, "Contexts Don't Assign Things"</li>\n<li>Dirk Kindermann\, University of Graz\, "Context\, Conversation and Mental Fragmentation"</li>\n<li>Nikola Kompa\, University of Osnabr&uuml\;ck\, "Context-sensitivity and Disagreement"</li>\n<li>Karen Lewis\, Columbia University\, "Objectivity and the Meta-Semantics of Context-Sensitive Expressions"</li>\n<li>Emar Maier\, University of Groningen\, "Fighting Supermonsters: Exploring the Limits of Context Shifting in Semantics"</li>\n<li>Paulo Santorio\, University of Leeds\, "Context Dependence in Counterfactuals: From Domain Shift to Alternative Shift"</li>\n<li>Anders Schoubye\, University of Edinburgh\, "What is Said"</li>\n<li>Isidora Stojanovic\, CNRS\, "On the Context-relativity of Aesthetic Predicates"</li>\n<li>Andreas Stokke\, University of Ume&aring\;\, "Indexicals as Variables"</li>\n<li>Paula Sweeney\, University of Aberdeen\, "Sentence-truth\, Proposition-truth"</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We are grateful for the financial support of the following sponsors:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Office of the Rector\, University of Salzburg</li>\n<li>The Office of the Vice Rector for International Relations and Communication\, University of Salzburg</li>\n<li>The Department of Philosophy (KGW) of the University of Salzburg</li>\n<li>The City of Salzburg: &nbsp\;MA2 &mdash\; Kultur\, Bildung und Wissen</li>\n<li>The German Society for Analytic Philosophy (GAP)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Visitors are very welcome to attend.&nbsp\; Prior registration is not required\, but <em>we would be grateful to know in advance that you plan to attend</em>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Student visitors looking for inexpensive housing during the conference\, should contact the organizer.</p>\n<p>For more information\, please contact the organizer:&nbsp\; Prof. Christopher Gauker\, email:&nbsp\; christopher.gauker@sbg.ac.at</p>
