Meeting Description: 

The connections between meanings and the way in which they are linguistically
packaged and conveyed vary systematically within a speech community and change
systematically over time.  Although many synchronic and diachronic patterns
that instantiate such varying connections have been well described,
understanding the cognitive and communicative motivations of such systematic
variability and change would provide crucial bridging between and integration
of the discourse-based, linguistic, conceptual, and cognitive components that
are expected to support such meaning dynamics. This is the focus of the
workshop.

We are planning this very much as a workshop with discussion driven by 
foundational questions on meaning development, variation and change and the
struggle of messy data. As exemplified by our invited speakers, we are seeking
to bring together all kinds of perspectives on meaning representation,
including model-theoretic, discourse representation, conceptual
semantics/pragmatics, and all experimental and empirical approaches.
 
Invited Speakers:

Ashwini Deo, The Ohio State University
Lyn Frazier, University of Massachusetts Amherst
Ray Jackendoff, Tufts University
Ann Senghas, Barnard College
Mandy Simons, Carnegie Mellon University
