DESCRIPTION:<p>TYPED VERSUS UNTYPED APPROACHES TO SEMANTICS<br><br>Oslo\, 12-13 April 2013<br><br>In both linguistic and model-theoretic semantics\, there is a choice between typed and untyped&nbsp\;approaches: Are there many distinct types or categories of semantic values or just one? Examples of&nbsp\;typed approaches include Frege&rsquo\;s distinction between objects and concepts and George Boolos&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;semantics for plurals\, whereas set-theoretic<br>semantics provides an example of an untyped approach.<br><br>Topics and questions may include the following.<br><br>- Ramsey on the distinction between universals and particulars<br>- Frege&rsquo\;s problem of the concept horse<br>- G&ouml\;del&rsquo\;s criticism of typed approaches<br>- To what extent is contemporary semantics committed to type distinctions?<br><br>Confirmed speakers: Salvatore Florio (Kansas State and Oslo)\, Bob Hale (Sheffield)\, &nbsp\;Stephan Kr&auml\;mer&nbsp\;(Hamburg)\, David Liebesman (Boston University)\, Fraser MacBride (Glasgow)<br><br>The event is organized in connection with &Oslash\;ystein Linnebo's ERC Starting Grant "Plurals\, Predicates\, and&nbsp\;Paradox"&nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br><br>http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/research/projects/ppp/<br><br>To register or inquire about the event\, please email Salvatore Florio at florio@ksu.edu&nbsp\;</p>
