Meeting Description:

Empirical Semantics
10-Feb to 12-Feb 2010
Tübingen, Germany

Special session on the integration of empirical and theoretical approaches to
semantic issues. 

Call for Papers:

The development of the empirically grounded cognitive approach is perhaps least well-developed in the linguistic sub-field of semantics. While there is some fairly extensive use of corpus approaches and a growing body of work on semantic processing and pragmatics, in the area of theoretical semantics the empirical trend in linguistics is as yet in its infancy: work in semantics tends to be characterized as either data-oriented or else theory-oriented; the
productive and reciprocal mix of both, such as has fairly recently developed in the field experimental syntax, is as yet infrequent.   
 
We therefore particularly call for papers addressing this important gap.
