CALL FOR PAPERS

Temporality and Discourse Context: Dynamic and Modal Approaches
Dundee, Scotland, 30 July 2001 (co-located with CONTEXT '01)

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for recent work on aspect,
tense, and causality, and their relation to discourse context, conceived
locally and globally. Reports are particularly encouraged of formal
approaches from dynamic and modal perspectives that have proved useful
in discourse-level semantics (information and discourse structure) and
temporal semantic analyses of verbs, adverbs, nouns, quantification and
intensionality. Logical and computational investigations of the role
notions of event[uality] and/or situation play in shaping context (and
interpretation) are solicited.

We envisage a meeting with an invited keynote address and between 6 to 8
apers, from linguists, philosophers and cognitive/computer scientists
working on formalization of dialogue, planning, knowledge representation,
AI and computational applications.
