Natural language semantics is today a wide-ranging and methodologically \;diverse discipline. One can distinguish broadly between those who use \;experimental methods from those who don't. Mostly\, semanticists in \;psychology or neuro-science work experimentally\, while philosophers\, \;logicians and linguists work non-experimentally. However\, the variety of \;approaches and methods among both groups is huge. Even within the camp of \;theoretical semantics there are numerous communities: formal semantics\, \;possible world semantics\, discourse representation theory\, etc. The same \;heterogeneity is present in the camp of empirical researchers: psycho- and \;neuro-linguistics\, corpus linguistics\, etc. The aim of the workshop is to \;bring together these different branches which are often working on very \;related topics. The workshop will not only present the variety of empirical \;and theoretical approaches to semantics\, but also invites explicit \;discussions of the neurobiological and psychological basis of semantics as \;well as its methods\, and epistemology.
