CALL FOR PAPERS

SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF SPANISH

The conference attempts to bring together researchers interested in  the

analyses of Spanish, and contrastive issues with respect to other

(formal and applied presentations are invited).
v
Some of the topics to be considered are the following:
(i) Current theoretical trends and their applications to Spanish: Relevance
Theory, Discourse Representation Theory, Dynamic Semantics, Generalized
Quantifiers, Cognitive Semantics, etc.
(ii) Interfaces with other linguistic components: syntax, phonology
(intonation), etc.
(iii) The analysis of discourse markers
(iv) Clauses in discourse
(v) Negation, quantification, mood
(vi) Declaratives and non-declaratives
