Linguistic Field(s): Semantics 

Call Deadline: 10-Feb-2006 

Meeting Description:

Formal Semantics in Moscow is a student-run annual workshop. The main aim of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for students and young researchers to present their work (possibly in progress) in the field of formal semantics and to get feedback from their colleagues. 

We invite submissions of abstracts for 20 minute presentations (plus 10 minute discussion) on any topic pertaining to formal semantics. The workshop is intended mainly for students and young researchers, and presentations of work in progress are welcome. Papers linking Western and East European semantic traditions are especially welcome. Languages of the workshop are English and Russian. 

If you are not a student or a young researcher, it does not mean that you cannot submit a paper, just bear in mind that most talks will be made by (under)graduate students and young researchers.

The workshop will be held on Saturday April 15, probably, at Moscow State University. 

Invited speaker: Elena Viktorovna PaduÕeva (VINITI RAN)

Abstracts should be anonymous and should not exceed 2 pages, including examples and references, with one-inch limits on each side and typed in at least 11-point font. Authors may be involved in at most two abstracts and may be the sole author of at most one submission. We accept only electronic submissions. The preferable format is pdf, but Word and txt abstracts will be accepted too. If you use Word, please save the abstract as an rtf file. Abstracts should be sent to fsim2.submissions at gmail.com. 

Please write your name and the word 'abstract' in the subject field of your e-mail, and include your name, affiliation, contact information, and the title of the submission in the body of the message. The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is February 10. Authors will be notified of the review results late February or early March. 

WARNING: Unfortunately, getting a Russian visa for a business trip is not easy. We will be able to send you an official invitation, but it takes several weeks to make it, and it is not very easy to get a visa with this kind of invitation from the university. If you would like to participate in the workshop, please consider getting a tourist visa - it is much easier to get. 

Limited crash space is available upon request.

Organizing committee: 

Igor Yanovich, Moscow State University 
Elizaveta Bylinina, Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences
Peter Arkadiev, Institute of Slavic studies, Russian Academy of Sciences

Barbara H. Partee, UMass Amherst (Honorary Mentor of the Committee)
