SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
THE TENTH AMSTERDAM COLLOQUIUM
December 18---21, 1995
The Tenth Amsterdam Colloquium will be held from Monday 18 until
Thursday 21, December 1995, at the University of Amsterdam. The
Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together logicians,
philosophers, linguists and computer scientists who share an
interest in semantics. The spectrum of topics covered ranges from
descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions), to
theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic
theories, philosophical foundations).
The following people have in principle accepted our invitation to
give a lecture:
Bob Carpenter * Gennaro Chierchia * Joe Halpern
Hans Kamp * Angelika Kratzer * Fred Landman
Barbara Partee * Krister Segerberg * Anna Szabolcsi
To give this tenth installment a special touch, an evening session
will be devoted to the past and the future of the field of semantics.
*Submission of abstracts*
The Colloquium has room for 40 contributed talks of approximately
40 minutes. People who want to contribute a paper are requested to
send in SIX copies of an ANONYMOUS ABSTRACT of two pages (at most
1000 words). The abstract must include a short, 10 line, SUMMARY
clearly indicating subject matter and conclusions. A SEPARATE
leaflet should specify the author's name, affiliation, postal
address, e-mail address plus the title of the contribution.
Submission by e-mail is possible, provided that the abstract,
summary and personal details are in ASCII and don't need
typesetting.
The DEADLINE for submission of abstracts is September 1, 1995. The
abstracts will be refereed by the program committee consisting of
Renate Bartsch, Johan van Benthem, Peter van Emde Boas, Frank
Veltman and the invited speakers. Authors will be notified of
acceptance by October 15. The 10 line summaries of the accepted
papers will be included in the program.

announce a conference
LP'96: Typology: prototypes, items orderings and universals
August 20-22 1996
This is the third LP (Linguistics and Phonetics) conference of the
two departments within the space of six years. The first was held in
1990, the second in 1994 (Proceedings of LP'90 are still available on
request from Charles University Press - Karolinum (Ovocny trh 5,
Prague 1, 11636) or from the Department of Linguistics and Finno-
Ugric Studies, Proceedings of LP'94 will be available in July 1995).
The term item-order was the central term discussed at the LP'94
Conference.The term "item" was used in the sense of any linguistic
unit such as phoneme, morpheme, syllable, word, word-form, phrase,
clause, sentence. The primary aim of LP'96 is to contribute to the
clarification of the role of item-order in typology and to its
interrelationship with other language means in typology.
Topics will focus among other on following questions:
1) What does a possible type of natural language entail? What
parameters differentiate language from other phenomena? The topic
includes among other: Biological, genetic and philosophical aspects
of linguistic universals; function-form approach to typology; the
role of comparison of acoustic and perception phenomena in both
natural and synthetic speech signals; internal and external phonetic
values; kinds of iconicity/ isomorphism/ economy at individual levels
of linguistis analysis; markedness of item-orderings (e.g. is it
meaningful to differentiate fixed and free word-order according to
the dichotomy unmarked-marked?)
2) Which factors are relevant for classification as such and for
classification of languages in particular? The topic includes among
other: the processses of reduction and clustering of linguistic
phenomena; substruction of linguistic properties; the concept of type
of languages.
3) What is the foundation of typology as a linguistic discipline? The
topic includes among other: kinds of typology: traditional typologies
(morphological, syntactic, semantic), cognitive typology
(configurational vs non-configurational languages, Baker's
incorporation, mirror principles, kinds of raising, etc.),
classification of typologies (parameters).
4) Is linguistic typology only the subject of theoretical discussions
or has it consequences for linguistic applications? The topic
includes: consequences for language teaching, for linguistic
databases, for development of text-editors, for multilingual
communication and multimedia in www in contrast with monolingual
communication, etc.
