Call Deadline: 15-May-2018 

Meeting Description:

Quantifiers are linguistic expressions encoding representations of quantities.
Their study has been one of the great success stories in natural language
semantics. On the other hand, the study of the mental representation of
numerical and other quantitative information has become an active area of
research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This workshop provides a venue
for continued exploration of the interface between these two domains. In what
ways do cognitive theories of quantities constrain and inform the semantics of
quantifiers? Are the quantifiers realized in natural language constrained by
our cognitive representations of number? Similarly, can insights from
semantics inform the study of the psychology of number?

Call for Papers

Quantifiers are linguistic expressions encoding representations of quantities.
Their study has been one of the great success stories in natural language
semantics. On the other hand, the study of the mental representation of
numerical and other quantitative information has become an active area of
research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This workshop provides a venue
for continued exploration of the interface between these two domains. In what
ways do cognitive theories of quantities constrain and inform the semantics of
quantifiers? Are the quantifiers realized in natural language constrained by
our cognitive representations of number? Similarly, can insights from
semantics inform the study of the psychology of number? We welcome new
experimental and theoretical work at this interface.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Formal semantics and pragmatics of quantifiers
Experimental semantics and pragmatics of quantifiers
Neuroscience of quantification
Corpora research on quantifiers
Numerical cognition
Mass vs count quantification
Procedural semantics
Computational models of quantification
Learnability of quantifiers
Evolution of quantification
Cognitive models based on semantic representations
Foundational issues at the semantics-cognition interface

We invite anonymized submission of abstracts of 2 pages (12 pt font; 1in or
2.5cm margins) — with an extra page for references of figures — on new
research on topics related to those listed above.

Deadline: May 15 (23:59 GMT)
