Linguistic Field(s): Semantics 

Meeting Description: 

Surely, we might have different opinions about whether or not it is fun to 
ride a roller coaster. But can they both be true? And are we really 
disagreeing in case they are? Relativists typically tend to answer both 
questions in the affirmative. As innocent as this position may seem at first 
sight, it certainly involves some rather dramatic changes in the way 
philosophers usually think about formal semantics. Then again, these 
changes seem to offer elegant solutions to further problems besetting 
semantics, such as the assessment of future contingents, the variability of 
knowledge ascriptions and the correct analysis of epistemic modals.

The conference will be concerned with different relativist proposals, with its 
consequences, and with possible alternative analyses of the phenomena 
motivating relativism

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-
6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and 
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information 
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
