             RELEVANCE THEORY WORKSHOP

8-10 September 1998, University of Luton, England

                   Call for Papers and Registration

The Second Relevance Theory Workshop aims to bring together those
interested in cognitive approaches to communication, in particular
(but not exclusively) Relevance Theory. The Workshop will feature
refereed and invited papers, including a keynote address by Professor
Deirdre Wilson.

PAPERS
Contributions are invited for papers on the following topics:

(1) non-truth-conditional meaning;
(2) conceptual and procedural encoding;
(3) metarepresentation and interpretive use;
(4) the nature of and relation between the distinctions:
      semantics/pragmatics and explicature/implicature;
(5) critiques of Relevance Theory;
(6) any other topic dealt with from a relevance theoretic perspective
      or which has some bearing on Relevance Theory.

Papers on topics (1) - (5) will be presented in special topic panels
and should be 20 minutes. Other papers will be allocated 40 minutes
for presentation and discussion (either 20 + 20, or 30 +10).
Complete papers will be distributed in advance of the Workshop in
order to increase the chances for useful feedback.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS
In order to distribute proceedings in advance, full-length papers are
invited rather than the more usual abstracts. Papers may take the
form of pre-publication drafts, and should be a MAXIMUM of 6 pages in
length, including references and a short (ten line) abstract.

Manuscripts should be typed (12 point font), single-spaced, with 1
inch (2.5 cm) margins on all sides, and NO page numbering.

THREE copies of the manuscript should be submitted, one with the
author's name and two anonymously.

Please also include the following information on a seperate sheet:
name, address (postal and e-mail if available), affiliation, title of
paper, the topic to which your paper relates (see (1) - (6)  above),
and a contact telephone number.

Manuscripts should be submitted to:

   Dr. Steve Nicolle,
   Middlesex University,
   Trent Park,

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 24 APRIL 1998
