\nAs in previous years\, the principal aim of our Conference is to bring together philosophers\, linguists and logicians. PhiLang2017 will be concerned with "objects of inquiry" (or on "what there is") in language\, philosophy\, logic\, argumentation theory\, and literature. We also invite contributions investigating the general and more specific relations between philosophy of language\, philosophy of literature\, and philosophy of mind. \; Other possible areas of inquiry include (the list is not exhaustive):
\n- Philosophical background of semantic and pragmatic theories
\n- Metaphilosophy and philosophy of language
\n- Philosophical and linguistic background of argumentation theory
