Linguistic Field(s): Semantics 

Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2017 

Meeting Description:

The InqBnB workshop series brings together researchers working on inquisitive
semantics and closely related topics. We are particularly interested in
research that studies how inquisitiveness is generated, how it projects in
sentence meaning composition, how it interacts with other aspects of meaning,
and what role it plays in discourse.

Relevant questions include (though are not limited to) the following:

- Which operators (connectives, quantifiers, modals, conditionals) generate
inquisitiveness?
- How do these operators project the inquisitive content of their arguments?
- How does inquisitive content interact with informative content in
compositional semantics?
- How do conventions of use interact with inquisitive content?
- In which ways is pragmatics sensitive to inquisitive content?
- What kind of discourse anaphora are licensed by inquisitive expressions?

Invited Speakers:

Scott AnderBois (Brown)
Ivano Ciardelli (Munich)
Sven Lauer (Konstanz)
Wataru Uegaki (Leiden)
More TBA


Call for Papers:

Abstract submission (deadline October 1, 2017):

We invite contributions related to the topic of the workshop. Presentations
will be 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for discussion.

Abstract submission is handled via EasyChair. Go to:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=inqbnb2

Authors can submit at most one abstract as single author, and at most two
abstracts in total. The abstract must be at most two pages long, with 1 inch
margins and 11pt font. The workshop is independent of the Amsterdam Colloquium
and thus, it is possible to submit the same abstract to this workshop and the
colloquium.

Note: When you submit your abstract, you will be asked to provide a short
summary of at most 200 words in the EasyChair submission form. Note that the
field for entering this summary is labeled ''abstract'' in EasyChair; this is
not to be confused with the full two-page abstract, which needs to be provided
separately as a PDF. In the ''abstract'' field you can just enter the word
''abstract''.
