Meeting Description:

International Multidisciplinary Colloquium: Mass/Count in Linguistics, Philosophy and Cognitive Science
December 20-21, 2012
ENS-Paris, France

December 18-19, 2012: Tutorial

The colloquium will be preceded by a two day-tutorial on the mass-count distinction.

The aim of this colloquium is to provide a platform of exchange between linguists, philosophers and psychologists, working the different aspects of the mass/count distinction. Such a resolutely interdisciplinary approach is indeed necessary to fully apprehend the new questions that are presently arising in connection to the mass/count distinction. This multidisciplinary conference aspires to move this scientific debate forward, and contribute to the evolution of current methodology.

A more detailed description is available on the dedicated website:

http://mass-count.sciencesconf.org/

Invited Speakers:

David Barner (UCSD)
Almerindo Ojeda (UCDavis)
Beyon-Uk Yi (Toronto University)
Anne Zribi-Herts (Paris 8 University) 

2nd Call for Papers:

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

- Alternative approaches to standard extensional mereology
- Analysis of the (quasi-)classifier role on nouns in constructions like 'the town of Paris'

- Plurality and individuation of reference
- Syntactic mapping
- Experimental psychology and assessment of theoretical analyses
