Meeting Description:

Theoretical Linguistics at Keio is an annual event focused on various aspects
of theoretical linguistics hosted by the Institute of Cultural and Linguistic
Studies, Keio University.  Each year, the event focuses on one particular
subdiscipline of theoretical linguistics:  semantics (2013), syntax (2014) and
phonology/phonetics (2015). In 2016, it will once again be devoted to formal
semantics.

Invited Speakers:

- Manfred Krifka, ZAS
- Junko Shimoyama, McGill
- Uli Sauerland, ZAS

Conference Organizer:  Chris Tancredi

Connected with TaLK, we hope to open an 8 day summer school in semantics and
pragmatics aimed at beginning graduate students.  The summer school plans are
dependent on an application for funding.  If funded, the scholars invited to
teach at the summer school will also be invited to give a talk at TaLK.  The
funding decision is expected in April.
