----- ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS -----

Dorothy Edgington (Birkbeck College)

Deadline for reception of submissions: February 1st 2013

====================================

For this edition of the BW we encourage submissions on conditionals. Papers may directly deal with issues in the semantics or pragmatics of conditionals (indicative or counterfactual), or they may focus on more applied issues in which conditionals figure prominently (philosophical puzzles which essentially employ a conditional premise, issues in belief revision or decision theory).

We invite submissions for 45-minute presentations (with 45 minutes for discussion). Submissions should take the form of a full paper not exceeding 5000 words with a 150-300 word abstract suitable for blind review. Authors' names, postal address, affiliation, phone number and e-mail address should be given separately. Please send your submission by e-mail in an attached file in pdf-format to [email protected]. Submissions will be blind refereed by an international committee, and selected on the basis of general quality and relevance to the topic of the workshop.

SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY FEBRUARY 1, 2012. Communication of acceptance: April 1, 2013.

We regret that we cannot cover travel or other expenses, although the organization will try to cover at least partially the accommodation expenses of the authors of accepted papers if our applications for funding are successful
(we expect to know by the time acceptances are announced). There will be a maximum of 9 submissions accepted. No parallel
sessions will be held.

Further information will be downloaded in the conference website atwww.ub.edu/logosbw/bw8 The workshop is organized by: LOGOS (Logic, Language and Cognition).
