Meeting Description: 

Semantics and Linguistic Theory (SALT) is the premiere North American
conference on semantics as a part of linguistic theory. The 27th SALT will
take place on May 12–14, 2017, at The University of Maryland, College Park.
Our invited speakers are Pranav Anand, Chris Barker, Sarah Murray and Maribel
Romero. 

In addition on May 11 there will be a pre-SALT workshop, “Meaning and
Distribution”, with invited speakers Angelika Kratzer, Beth Levin and Jeffrey
Lidz, on the topic of observed correlations between syntactic and semantic
classes. We invite critical discussion of traditional questions: how do such
correlations help us understand language acquisition, variation or invariance
across languages, or relations between linguistic and nonlinguistic cognition?
