Meeting Description: 

A formal semantics conference.

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for formal semanticists and for philosophers of language working on foundational issues in semantics to discuss topics that are relevant for both groups. We accept abstracts on any area of formal semantics and philosophy of language that fit this aim.
