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)

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!
