The purpose of the workshop-seminars is to gather philosophers interested in indexicality, especially in various problems connected with the distinction between proper indexicals and demonstratives (the role of intentions in determining the reference of indexicals and demonstratives, the linguistic meanings of indexical expressions etc.) and other problems in the logic, semantics and pragmatics of deictic expressions. We are especially interested in foundational philosophical questions and issues.

Invited speaker:
Geoff Georgi (West Virginia University)

We invite submissions for 60 minute talks (including 30 minutes for the discussion and commentary [the author decides if s/he wants to have a commentator]).
