Meeting Description:

On October 22-23, 2018, the Philosophy of Language and Mind (PLM) Network will
host a master class for students and recent doctorate recipients with Prof.
Angelika Kratzer (Linguistics, University of Massachusetts).  The event will
take place at the University of Salzburg, Austria, and is being organized by
Prof. Christopher Gauker.

There is no charge for participation, however, participants will have to fund
their own travel to and living expenses in Salzburg.  (Information about
inexpensive accommodation will be provided.)  Funding is currently being
applied for to subvent the cost of some meals.

The PLM is a consortium of European philosophy departments and research
centers that are especially strong in philosophy of language and philosophy of
mind.  Please see the PLM website for more information: 
http://projects.illc.uva.nl/PLM/

Call for Papers:

Students and recent doctoral degree recipients (within three years of the
degree at the time of submission) are invited to submit abstracts of papers to
be presented at the master class.  Papers may be submitted on any of the
topics on which Prof. Kratzer has worked, including modality, conditionals,
attitude ascriptions and speech reports.  Preference will be given to papers
that approach these issues from the perspective of the formal semantics of
natural language.

10 submissions will be selected for presentation.  Each presenter will have 50
minutes for presentation and discussion with Prof. Kratzer and the other
participants.  On the second day Prof. Kratzer will give a lecture for the
participants and the Salzburg Philosophy Department (KGW).  

To apply to be a participant, please submit an anonymized abstract of no more
than 1000 words (a short bibliography may be appended in addition to the 1000
words).  The abstract must be submitted as a PDF document attached to an email
sent to Prof. Julien Murzi at the following email address: 
julien.murzi at sbg.ac.at.  The title of the PDF should be „PLM Abstract“ and the
subject line of the email should also be „PLM Abstract“.  Both the abstract
and the body of the email should contain the title of the presentation, and
the email should state the name of the applicant and the name of the
institution at which the applicant is or was a student, and, in case the
doctorate has already been awarded, the date of graduation.  Questions may
also be directed to Prof. Gauker at christopher.gauker at sbg.ac.at, but
abstracts should not be sent to him.

The deadline for submission of abstracts is July 20, 2018.  Acceptance
decisions will be sent by email by August 24, 2018.  Up to 4 of the 10
presentation slots will be reserved for participants affiliated with, or who
have degrees from, PLM institutions.  After the anonymized abstracts have been
rated, the final selection of presentations will strive for gender balance,
and geographical balance may play a role as well.
