Meeting Description:

Meeting Description:

The overarching goal of this international conference is to create a forum for
discussion for scholars interested in various aspects of the processing number
and quantification in natural languages, in particular related to the
following research questions:

- Number interpretation of nouns and verbs based on morphology, context and
lexical semantics, 
- The interpretation of imperfective aspect with a special focus on the
composition of its iterative (plural) and progressive (single-event) readings,
- The mental representation of lexical properties of quantifier terms.

We are mainly interested in experimental research but studies aiming at
empirical verification of theoretical models will also be taken into
consideration.

Confirmed speakers (in alphabetical order):
Oliver Bott (University of Tübingen) 
Judith Degen (Stanford University)
Silvia P. Gennari (University of York)
Yosef Grodzinsky (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Alexis Wellwood (Northwestern University)
Ming Xiang (University of Chicago)


Call for Papers:

We invite abstract submissions for oral presentations or posters, devoted to
(theoretical and experimental) research on number and quantification in
natural language.

One person can submit at most one abstract as sole author and one abstract as
co-author (or two co-authored abstracts). 

Abstracts should be sent in PDF format and submitted electronically to the
following e-mail address: joanna.blaszczak at googlemail.com

They must be anonymous and consist of no more than two pages (margins: 2.5 cm
or 1 inch, font size 12 points, single spacing), including references, figures
and data. Data should be included in the main text of the abstract.  

The format of the conference is:

- 45 min for presentation + 15 min question time for invited talks
- Max. 30 min for presentation + 10 min question time for regular submissions.

The language of the conference is English.

A selection of papers presented at the workshop will be published in a special
thematic volume, presumably by the Oxford University Press.

Call Deadline: 15 June 2016 
Notification of acceptance: 30 June 2016
