Meeting Description:

ESSLLI 2018 Workshop 
Bridging Formal and Conceptual Semantics
August 6-10, 2018
Sofia University ''St. Kl. Ohridski'', Sofia, Bulgaria

The main aim of the workshop is to get together linguists, philosophers and
cognitive scientists from the two leading research traditions of natural
language meaning, often referred to them as ''formal semantics'' and
''conceptual semantics''. The workshop provides a platform to investigate and
discuss the ways of possible bridges between the two semantic perspectives,
and to initiate a deeper conversation and collaboration between them. The
workshop intends to gather approaches that show the way how the two
perspectives can strengthen each other. The workshop holds 6 high-quality
contributed talks, each of 45 minutes including discussions and two invited
talks by distinguished researchers working on topics closely related to the
main issue of the workshop.
 
Website:  bridge-2018.phil.hhu.de

Centre 991.
