excessively long. Also, please remember that, once posted, your
announcement will be permanently available at our website:

For this reason, we discourage multiple submissions of the same
conference announcement. Thank you for your cooperation.

Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together logicians, philosophers,
linguists and computer scientists who share an interest in
semantics. 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 Eleventh Amsterdam Colloquium includes four invited
lectures by renowned experts, as well as 36 talks selected by an
international program committee. Furthermore two plenary workshops are
held: one on "Games in Logic" and one on "The Semantics of Topic and
Focus in Discourse".
Registration and hotel reservation forms are sent to you upon

The Amsterdam Colloquia are organized every two years under the
auspices of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC)
