The workshop aims to bring together scholars working on linguistic issues both
at the sentential and discourse level as well as scholars working at the
junction of linguistics and philosophy.

Particular topics of interest are but are not limited to:

- Epistemic modals in probabilistic and non-probabilistic epistemic models
- Tense, aspect and mood in the semantic composition of conditionals
- Sobel sequences and related patterns 
- Licensing of Negative Polarity Items in conditionals and related
constructions
- Discourse particles and their occurrence in conditionals
- Conditional perfection and other inferences derived from the interaction
between conditionals and discourse
- Semantics and pragmatics of quirky conditionals such as biscuit
conditionals, chimeric conditionals, optative conditionals etc.

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!
