Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the XI Workshop on Formal Linguistics, to be held
on November 9, 10 and 11, 2016, at Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) in
Curitiba, Brazil. The Workshop welcomes papers on any topic concerning formal
accounts to meaning and structure with relevance to linguistic theory, and
which explores either core aspects of grammar or some interface phenomena
(syntax-semantic, syntax-prosody, morpho-syntax, morpho-phonology,
semantics-pragmatics, lexical semantics, language acquisition, language
change).

We are also pleased to announce that, as part of the activities of the
workshop, the morning section of November the 10th will be dedicated to the
COUNTING AND MEASURING conference. The COUNTING AND MEASURING conference aims
at fomenting a deep discussion about the different perspectives involved in
the semantics and pragmatics of counting and measuring across languages. It
strongly encourages the submission of researches on under-represented
languages, as well as on experimental researches.

Invited Speakers:
Susan Rothstein - Bar-Ilan University 
Jenny Doetjes - University of Leiden
Virgina Hill - University of New Brunswick
Suzi Lima - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro

Mini-courses:
Counting and Measuring, Susan Rothstein
