Meeting Description:

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different horizons to
open new directions of research in the domain of social meaning. In
particular, we hope to encourage contact between researchers working on social
meaning from formal linguistic, sociolinguistic, computational, and
philosophical perspectives.

The workshop is part of the 31st European Summer School in Logic, Language,
and Information (ESSLLI 2019), organized in Riga:

2nd Workshop on Integrating Approaches to Social Meaning

Social meaning in pragmatics has long been studied by considering general
mechanisms of language use to formalize notions such as politeness. In recent
years, there has been a growing interest in the study of lexical elements
whose semantics encode a component that directly bears on social meaning, for
example slurs and honorifics. The question of which type of meaning these
components belong to (e.g. conventional implicatures or presuppositions) and
the way these components enter the compositional meaning of an utterance have
also been studied. In addition, the last couple of years saw a surge of
studies related to social meaning stemming from different fields.

The workshop will be a platform for researchers with different backgrounds to
discuss the meaning of expressions related to social aspects, including, but
not limited to the following themes:

- honorifics
- insults, slurs and pejoratives
- discourse particles
- code switching
- lexical choice
- directness speech acts
- politeness
- identity construction
- gender marking in discourse
- argumentation
- social meaning in computational models
- neurological profile of social meaning expressions

Submission Details:
 
We invite submissions of abstracts on topics including those above. Abstracts
should be 2 pages in length including references and figures and should be
submitted in PDF format by March 15, 2019 via EasyChair at:
