FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
Advances in Modal Logic'98
AiML'98
October 16-18, 1998
Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Advances in Modal Logic is an initiative aimed at presenting an up-to-date
picture of the state of the art in modal logic and its many applications.
The initiative consists of a workshop series together with volumes based on
those workshops.
Advances in Modal Logic'98 is the second workshop organized as part of this
initiative. AiML'98 will be held from October 16--18, 1998 in Uppsala,
Sweden. The workshop is intended for users of modal logic in cognition,
computing, and language, as well as for logicians working in modal logic.
TOPICS: The AiML '98 workshop will be organized around a number of thematic
areas:
* modal logics of agency and normative systems
* algebraic and model-theoretic aspects of modal logic
* modal approaches to grammar and natural language semantics
* computational aspects of modal logic
* philosophical aspects of modal logic
* modal logic and belief revision.
Papers on related subjects will also be considered.
SPECIAL SESSION: During the workshop there will be a special afternoon
session on modal logic and belief revision; this session will be chaired by
Sven Ove Hansson and Sten Lindstrom.
INVITED SPEAKERS: Invited speakers include J. van Benthem, K. Fine, D.M.
Gabbay, J. Horty, M. Kracht, and R. Parikh.
PAPER SUBMISSION: Authors are invited to submit a detailed abstract of a
full paper of at most 10 pages by e-mail to Heinrich Wansing at
wansing at rz.uni-leipzig.de,
using `AiML98 Submission' as the subject line. The cover page should
include title, authors, and the coordinates of the corresponding author.
Following this it should be indicated which of the thematic areas best
describes the content of the paper (if none is appropriate, please give a
set of keywords that best describe the topic of the paper).
To be considered, submissions must be received no later than JUNE 1, 1998.
The preliminary version of the full paper to be included in a planned
volume from the workshop should be available at the workshop; the volume
will be submitted to CSLI Publications. Authors will be notified of the
acceptance of their paper by December 1, 1998.
SPONSORS: The AiML '98 workshop is generously sponsored by Neurotec
Hochtechnologie GmbH, the Computational Logic Group at ILLC, University of
Amsterdam, Compulog Net network for Computational Logic, the Swedish Royal
Academy of Science, and the University of Uppsala.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: June 1, 1998
Notification: August 1, 1998
Workshop: October 16-18, 1998
Preliminary version for workshop volume due at the workshop
Notification of acceptance for publication: December 1, 1998

Subject: Workshop Annoncement and Call For Papers - Clitics
Workshop Announcement and Call For Papers
C L I T I C S
24th - 26th February 1999
Konstanz University, Germany
We are pleased to announce our workshop on 'Clitics' during the 21st annual
meeting of the German Society of Linguistics in Konstanz (Germany). In
linguistic research, clitics play an increasingly prominent role. The
status of clitics is under discussion in phonology, morphology, and
syntax, as well as in the respective interfaces. In these fields, the
discussion on clitics gives rise to controversial analyses. One open
question is whether we need in fact a separate linguistic category
'clitic', or whether these elements can be subsumed under different
linguistic categories, such as affixes.
- With respect to phonology, it is undetermined how clitics are
incorporated into phonological structure. Should we distinguish a Clitic
Group in the prosodic hierarchy, are clitics part of prosodic words, or are
they left outside prosodic structure? How is their phonological deficiency
best accounted for?
- Concerning the morphology of clitics, especially regarding the occurrence
of opaque clitics in clitic clusters, analyses within the framework of
Distributed Morphology compete with those which propose an Optimality
Theoretic solution.
- Also, the morphosyntactic status of clitics is unclear. Is it possible to
capture the order of clitics in clitic clusters in a more explanatory way
than in terms of templates? The complex conditions on clitic doubling give
rise to the question whether clitics should be analysed as agreement
markers or as arguments.
- Syntactic aspects of clitics play a major role in recent analyses in
different theoretical frameworks. For instance, there is no agreement on
the explanation of clitic climbing and it is an unsettled issue whether
clitic placement should be accounted for in a syntactic, prosodic,
prosodic-syntactic, or optimality-theoretic approach.
The workshop intends to bring together phonologists, morphologists, and
syntacticians and provides an ideal opportunity to share insights and to
discuss the issues mentioned above. In addition to the invited speaker
presentations, there are 9 slots for 30-minute presentations, and 3 slots
for 1 hour presentations (including discussion).
Invited speakers: Geert Booij (Free University Amsterdam)
Jane Grimshaw (Rutgers University)
Juan Uriagereka (University of Maryland)
