Meeting Description: 

(In the context of the ANR-DFG project NOMINAL)

IHPST, Grande salle, 13 rue du Four, 75006 Paris (metro Mabillon)

In 1912 the Polish philosopher K. Twardowski published a very interesting 
article 'Actions and Products' distinguishing between actions such as 
'jumping', 'screaming', 'thinking', 'believing', and 'expecting' and their 
corresponding (physical or mental) products such as a 'jump', a 'scream', a 
'thought', a 'belief', and an 'expectation'. A special case of that distinction is 
the distinction between 'judging' and (the historically important notion of)
a 'judgment'. Only mental products and not actions can be true (beliefs,
judgments) or fulfilled (expectations). The distinction between actions and
products is of great interest to both philosophers of language and linguists
working on nominalizations. This workshop is about the philosophical
distinction itself as well as related act-based conceptions of propositional
content in early analytic philosophy as well as recent philosophy of 
language (as in the work of Hanks and Soames). It furthermore addresses 
the linguistic distinctions between corresponding types of nominalizations in 
natural languages.
