Linguistic Field(s): Discipline of Linguistics; General Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Philosophy of Language 

Meeting Description: 

The workshop aims at bringing together linguists and philosophers to discuss a conception of linguistics that conceptualizes languages as abstract objects. Adopting this framework provides two advantages: It allows linguists (1) to separate the study of language from the study of linguistic knowledge and (2) to overcome the limitations of nominalism and conceptualism.
