DESCRIPTION:<p>Irene Heim is among the most influential scholars in the study of natural-language semantics and pragmatics. Several of her lasting contributions to the field were contained or foreshadowed in her dissertation &ldquo\;The Semantics of Definite and Indefinite Noun Phrases&rdquo\; (UMass Amherst\, 1982). There\, Heim demonstrated that Montagovian semantics and Chomskyan syntax\, two schools of thought which had developed independently and were deemed at cross-purposes by many\, could in fact be unified to mutual benefit. Heim&rsquo\;s dissertation is also one of the first fully developed accounts in what would come to be known as dynamic semantics. With this workshop\, we will celebrate Heim&rsquo\;s recent 60th birthday and use the occasion to reflect on the transformative nature of her early work\, its continued influence over the years since\, and the present state and trajectory of the field of formal semantics and pragmatics.</p>
