Meeting Description:

Formal Diachronic Semantics FoDS 2016

In recent years, formal semantic research has expanded its scope to historical
linguistics. Formal studies in meaning change help to understand the structure
of the space of possible denotations, restrictions on possible
syntax-semantics interfaces and the division of labour between pragmatics and
semantics in the constitution of meaning.

In order to connect ongoing strands of research, the linguistic department at
the University of Konstanz hosts a workshop on Formal Diachronic Semantics
(FoDS) to take place September 12 - 14, 2016.

Guest speaker: Dag T. T. Haug (Oslo)

Satelite Events:

Tutorial: Evolutionary Models of semantic change (Igor Yanovich)
Tutorial: Corpus linguistic methods in diachronic semantics (Christin
Schätzle)

Program Committee:

Corien Bary, Andrea Beltrama, Ashwini Deo, Dag Haug, Roumyana Pancheva, Igor
Yanovich, Hedde Zeijlstra


2nd Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions for oral presentations addressing meaning
change on basis of formal theories of semantics/pragmatics, including case
studies, studies of trends and drifts as well as general formal theories of
meaning change and corpus based research. 

Abstracts must be 2 pages (A4 or letter), font size 12pt. Please submit
abstracts via EasyChair no later than June 30, 2016.

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
