CFP: Philosophica II - Words and Language

Philosophica is an analytic philosophy conference series hosted by the Institute of Philosophy at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University. The theme of this edition of the conference is words and language, engaging with philosophical work addressing the nature of expressions, meaning, and natural language more broadly construed.

Invited speakers:

• Matti Eklund (Uppsala University)
• Luca Gasparri (National Centre for Scientific Research, France)
• James Miller (Durham University)
• Julia Zakkou (Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf)

We invite abstracts on topics broadly related to natural language; contributions do not need to place special emphasis on words as such, though this is welcome. Interdisciplinary perspectives drawing on linguistics, semantics, metaphysics, and other relevant areas are also welcome.

Submitted abstracts should be no more than 400 words (not including references); please also include 4-5 key words.

Submissions should be in English and suitable for 30-minute slots (20 minutes for presenting, 10 minutes for discussion).

This will be an in-person event; there will be no online component.
