Meeting Description:

The Department of English and General Linguistics at University of Lodz
announces the Fifth International Conference on Philosophy of Language and
Linguistics (http://filologia.uni.lodz.pl/philang/) 

As in previous years, the principal aim of our Conference is to bring together
philosophers, linguists and logicians. PhiLang2017 will be concerned with
''objects of inquiry'' (or on ''what there is'') in language, philosophy,
logic, argumentation theory, and literature. We also invite contributions
investigating the general and more specific relations between philosophy of
language, philosophy of literature, and philosophy of mind.  

The following scholars have accepted our invitation to address the conference
as plenary speakers:

Brendan S. Gillon (McGill University): What is the Object of Semantics?
Peter Pagin (Stockholm University): What is Language for? The Complexity
Arguments 
Göran Rossholm (Stockholm University): Between Chance and Necessity:
Reflexions on Literary Interpretations 
Alberto Voltolini (University of Turin): Can One Refer to and Quantify over
Intentional Objects of Hallucination?
Maciej Witek (University of Szczecin): Accommodation in Linguistic Interaction

Two special sessions are also included in this edition of the conference. A
workshop on Wallace Stevens  (http://filologia.uni.lodz.pl/philang/Stevens)
will address all aspects of his poetic praxis as well as Stevens' theoretical
writings reflecting this praxis. The second, on the Philosophy of
Argumentation (http://filologia.uni.lodz.pl/philang/Argumentation)  is
dedicated to exploring the relationship between Linguistics and Philosophy of
Language and Argumentation, as well as general aspects of argumentation
theory.


Call for Papers:

PhiLang2017 will be concerned with ''objects of inquiry'' (or on ''what there
is'') in language, philosophy, logic, argumentation theory, and literature. We
also invite contributions investigating the general and more specific
relations between philosophy of language, philosophy of literature, and
philosophy of mind.  Other possible areas of inquiry include (the list is not
exhaustive):

- Philosophical background of semantic and pragmatic theories
- Metaphilosophy and philosophy of language
- Philosophical and linguistic background of argumentation theory

Abstracts of papers, in MS Word format, of max. 300 words (followed by 5-7 key
terms) should be forwarded by e-mail to: philang2017 at uni.lodz.pl.

Deadline for submission is 15 December 2016. Presentations should last maximum
30 minutes (including discussion and questions). Notification of acceptance
will be sent by 1 March 2017.

Selected conference proceedings will be published in monographic volumes in
the new series of Peter Lang Studies in Philosophy of Language and
Linguistics- Studies in Philosophy of Language and Linguistics
(https://www.peterlang.com/view/serial/SPLL).
