The workshop welcomes papers on any topic concerning formal accounts of meaning and/or grammatical structure with relevance to current linguistic theory - in particular, those exploring core aspects of the organization of linguistic knowledge and interface phenomena (syntax-semantics, semantics-pragmatics, syntax-pragmatics, syntax-prosody, morphology-semantics, etc.). 

The conference is open to work done from any theoretical perspective in formal linguistics. The official language of the conference is English.

Invited speakers:

Gennaro Chierchia (Harvard University, USA)

Rodolfo Ilari (UNICAMP, Brazil)
Márcia Cançado (UFMG, Brazil)

Call for Papers:

In addition, the workshop will be hosting a poster session. We especially encourage undergraduate and graduate students to participate.
