DESCRIPTION:<p>A sequel to CTF&rsquo\;07 and CTF&rsquo\;09\, CTF&rsquo\;12 is the third\n        interdisciplinary conference to contribute to the development of\n        a general frame theory of human concepts. The conference\n        explores the application of frames in linguistics and other\n        sciences. It discusses foundational issues for the development\n        of a theory of frames from the perspectives of general and\n        computational linguistics\, mathematics\, cognitive psychology\,\n        cognitive neuroscience\, ontology\, philosophy of mind\, and\n        philosophy of science.</p>\n<p><strong>Frames</strong></p>\n<p>CTF&rsquo\;12 explores fundamental aspects of a\n        formal theory of frames understood as recursive attribute-value\n        structures with functional attributes. The aspects include\n        representation and model-theoretic interpretation\, attributes\n        and value types\, and appropriate frame structures for different\n        types of concepts. A special focus will be on dynamic aspects of\n        frame theory: modeling dynamic frame components for event and\n        process frames\; exploring operations on frames such as type\n        shifts and frame composition.<br> <br> <strong>Cognition<br> </strong>CTF&rsquo\;12 explores empirical evidence for and\n        consequences of the frame approach. It addresses the distinction\n        of types of concepts\, in particular relational and functional\n        nominal concepts. Major topics include the grounding of concepts\n        in the sensory-motor system and dynamic aspects of concept\n        formation.<br> <br> <strong>Language<br> </strong>CTF&rsquo\;12 explores the application of a formal&shy\;ized\n        theory of frames at various levels of linguistic description:\n        lexical semantics of the different conceptual types of nouns and\n        verbs\, deep lexical decomposition\, semantics of word formation\,\n        the syntax-semantics interface\, syntactic and semantic\n        composition\, and anaphora and coherence in discourse.<br> <strong>&nbsp\; <br> Science<br> </strong>CTF&rsquo\;12 explores the applications of the frame\n        approach in various fields of institutional categorization:\n        e.g.\, the evolution of the frame notion in the history of\n        philosophy\; scientific frames and paradigm shifts\; frames for\n        legal concepts\; frames in applied ontology\; a frame model of the\n        mind\; and frame description of psychiatric disorders.</p>\n<p><strong>Contact information</strong></p>\n<p>Contact person:&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/asw/personal/loebner/">Sebastian L&ouml\;bner</a></p>\n<p>Meeting email:&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.sfb991.uni-duesseldorf.de/concept-types-and-frames-in-language-cognition-and-science/">ctf12@phil.hhu.de</a></p>
