Meeting Description: 

We are very pleased to announce the first edition of the new series New Ideas

The conferences New Ideas in Semantics and Modeling resume the Journées de
Sémantique et Modélisation (JSM 2003-2010), targeting the renewed community in
Formal Semantics and Pragmatics. Papers from any theoretical framework are
welcome, granted that new empirical data are clearly complemented with a
formal analysis.

This year, the conference will feature a thematic session on definites,

Corblin, founder of the JSM.

Elizabeth Coppock (Gothenburg University & Swedish Collegium for Advanced
Study)
