Bridge-14: Bridging Formal and Conceptual Semantics

WORKSHOP BRIDGING FORMAL AND CONCEPTUAL SEMANTICS

April 12-13, 2014 Düsseldorf, Germany  

::: WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION :::  

The main aim of the workshop is to get together semanticists from two different "fashions" and - instead of separating  the two sides as competing views - initiate a deeper conversation and collaboration between them. With the workshop  we seek to provide a platform to further discuss parallelisms on specific semantic issues on the one hand and on  the other hand to confront opposed claims from the two different perspectives.
