The Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium will be held from December 17-19, 2001 at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together
linguists, logicians, philosophers and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of semantics of natural and formal languages. The spectrum of topics
covered ranges from descriptive (semantic analyses of all kinds of expressions) to theoretical (logical and computational properties of semantic theories, philosophical
foundations).


The program of the Thirteenth Amsterdam Colloquium consists of:

  Reinhard Blutner (Berlin) - Gennaro Chierchia (Milan)- Ruth Kempson (London) - Angelika   Kratzer (Amherst)

Furthermore, there are 32 contributed papers. The complete program and abstracts are available at our website, including information on how to get there, and possible

Following the Amsterdam Colloquium, on December 20 a one day event will take place, in which the Spinoza project 'Logic in Action' of Johan van Benthem is closed
