The Departments of Linguistics and Philosophy at the University of Chicago will host a two-day workshop\, May 19-20\, 2017\, that aims to bring together recent innovations and novel perspectives on the phenomenon of subjectivity in language and thought. The workshop is funded by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society.
\nWe invite abstracts for 30-minute talks (plus 15 mins discussion) in any area related to the workshop topics (see http://subjectivity2017.uchicago.edu for details). We especially encourage submissions that broaden or challenge existing perspectives on the phenomenon of subjectivity in linguistics or philosophy\, for instance\, through novel data\, cross-linguistic studies\, experimental or corpus-based work\, or non-traditional frameworks and methodologies.
