Linguistic Field(s): Semantics 

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2011 

Meeting Description:

This meeting focuses on how the temporal structure of discourse is built out 
of linguistic and world knowledge cues, a topic of intense research for the 
past couple of decades. How do grammatical elements or systems - such as 
tense, aspect, Aktionsart, auxiliary verbs, lexical predicates (like last or date 
back to), time adjuncts, and discourse connectives - interact to determine 
temporal information processing in natural languages? How does world 
knowledge - in combination with the above-mentioned grammatical elements 
or systems - affect the semantic interpretation? Furthermore, how does 
mood/modality interact with temporal information (e.g. in factual, 
counterfactual or hypothetical structures)? Both language-specific and 
contrastive studies focusing on these different types of interactions - at the 
sentence or at the discourse level - are welcome.
