CALL FOR PAPERS: Workshop on Conditional and Unconditional Modality

August 25-29, 2003, Vienna

This workshop will be held as part of the 15th European Summer School in
Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI), August 18-29, 2003, Vienna,
Austria.

Deadline for submissions: March 7, 2003.

We invite presentations that address any of the following topics:

* Semantic analyses of modal expressions and conditionals.
* Logical tools to extend, refine or reconstruct the traditional apparatus
of possible worlds, times and events.
* Empirical studies on the morphosyntactic and semantic interaction of modal
and temporal expressions cross-linguistically.
* Relation between illocutionary operators underlying evidential systems
across a variety of languages and epistemic modalities.
* Context dependence and dynamic effects of modal and evidential assertions.

The workshop aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas between researchers
working in different linguistic schools and to bridge the gap between l'art
pour l'art logic and empirically grounded linguistic analysis.
