Meeting Description:

Formal and experimental semantics and pragmatics, with a focus on Slavic
languages.
Pre-conference workshop at FDSL-12 (Berlin, Germany)

Invited Speakers (Confirmed):
Manfred Krifka
Barbara Tomaszewicz

The workshop will take place on Dec 07, 2016, at the main conference venue of
the 12th European Conference on Formal Description of Slavic Languages
(FDSL-12).

The goal of the workshop is to gather the community of semanticists and
pragmaticists working on Slavic languages, who, as we perceive it, feel rather
affiliated to the community of general semanticists than to Slavic
linguistics. Therefore, semantics and pragmatics are often in a significant
minority at conferences such as FDSL or FASL. However, there are important
areas in which specifically Slavic languages present interesting evidence and
challenging test cases for semantics and pragmatics: Aspect, genitive of
negation, case semantics, negation, evidentiality, indefinites, (multiple)
wh-questions, referentiality and lack of articles, numerals, plurality,
information structure, etc., to name just a few. A more specific motivation
for the workshop is to be found in the major methodological development within
semantics and pragmatics towards more experimental approaches which has taken
place over the last decade or so. We find it vital that Slavic linguistics
catches up with and reflects upon this development. We invite papers on, but
not restricted to, the above issues in Slavic semantics and pragmatics, and we
especially welcome work combining a theoretical and an experimental point of
view.

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!
